Tee Up for a Great Cause: GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis 5th Annual Golf Outing 

GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis is thrilled to announce its 5th Annual Golf Outing, set to take place on Monday, September 23, 2024 at Queenstown Harbor Golf, 310 Links Ln, Queenstown, MD 21658. This highly anticipated event is more than just a day of fun on the green—it’s an opportunity for the community to come together in support of an extraordinary cause. Every swing, every putt, and every dollar raised during this event directly contributes to the mission of GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis: to change the way the world views Down syndrome and to provide free, life-changing programs to individuals with Down syndrome and their families. 

A Day on the Green with a Purpose 

The Annual Golf Outing is a cornerstone event for GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis, attracting participants from across the community who are eager to combine their love of golf with their passion for making a difference. Held at Queenstown Harbor Golf, this event promises a day of friendly competition, camaraderie, and, most importantly, philanthropy. 

The outing includes a full day of golf, a delicious lunch, exciting contests, and an awards ceremony to celebrate the top performers. But the real winners of the day are the individuals with Down syndrome who benefit from the funds raised. 

Why Your Support Matters 

GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with Down syndrome to achieve their fullest potential. The Playhouse offers a variety of free educational, therapeutic, and career development programs tailored to meet the unique needs of its participants. These programs are designed not only to enhance skills but also to build confidence, promote independence, and foster inclusion within the broader community. 

However, maintaining these high-quality programs at no cost to participants requires significant resources. That’s where the community’s support becomes crucial. The funds raised through the Golf Outing directly support the Playhouse’s operations, ensuring that every individual who walks through the doors can access the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. 

For many families, GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis is a lifeline. The programs offered help participants improve their communication, motor skills, and social interactions—all while building a strong sense of self-worth and community belonging. By supporting the Golf Outing, you are directly contributing to the continuation of these vital programs. 

The Impact of Your Involvement 

The success of the Annual Golf Outing depends on the collective efforts of participants, sponsors, and donors. Each contribution—whether it’s a sponsorship, a donation to the auction, or simply registering to play—helps GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis continue to offer its services free of charge. 

Corporate sponsors play a particularly important role in the success of this event. Sponsorship not only provides essential funding but also offers businesses a unique opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility and community engagement. Sponsors receive significant visibility before, during, and after the event, making it a win-win partnership. 

In addition to sponsorship, the Golf Outing features a silent auction with a variety of items up for bid. Donating an item to the auction is another impactful way to support the Playhouse, and all proceeds from the auction go directly to funding the programs. 

For those who cannot attend but still wish to support the cause, GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis accepts donations year-round. Every dollar raised helps ensure that the Playhouse can continue to offer its programs without charging families. 

A Community United for a Common Cause 

The Golf Outing is not just an event; it’s a celebration of the power of community. It brings together individuals, families, businesses, and local leaders who share a common goal: to make a difference in the lives of those with Down syndrome. The event embodies the spirit of GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis—a place where everyone is welcome, everyone is valued, and everyone has the potential to succeed.
