More Than a Sponsorship: Become a Partner in Changing the Way the World Views Down Syndrome

When businesses choose to sponsor GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta, they’re doing much more than supporting two incredible events. They’re investing in a future where individuals with Down syndrome are accepted, included, and given every opportunity to succeed.

Our annual ‘i have a voice’ Gala and GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta Golf Classic bring together hundreds of community leaders, businesses, families, and supporters who believe in our mission. Sponsorships provide year-round visibility while creating meaningful opportunities for companies to engage directly with the families and participants whose lives are impacted every day at the Playhouse.

Global Payments has included GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta in their World Service Day for the past 3 years!

Why Sponsor Both Events?

Our combined sponsorship packages maximize your investment by providing exposure at two of our largest fundraising events while creating opportunities to build an authentic partnership with GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta throughout the year.

Whether you’re entertaining clients on the golf course, celebrating with employees at the Gala, or volunteering alongside your team at the Playhouse, your company becomes part of something much bigger than a single event.

From our Bronze Sponsor level at $5,321 to our Presenting Sponsor level at $50,321, every sponsorship includes valuable benefits such as:

  • Recognition at both the Golf Classic and Gala
  • VIP access to our Gala Cocktail Reception
  • Golf Classic foursomes
  • Gala seating for clients, employees, or guests
  • Company logo recognition
  • The opportunity to include promotional materials in participant swag bags
  • One full year of visibility at GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta and on our website

As sponsorship levels increase, so do the opportunities for premier Gala seating, additional golf foursomes, luxury hotel accommodations, and exclusive partnership experiences.

Why $321?

You may notice that every sponsorship level ends in 321.

That number represents the three copies of the 21st chromosome that define a Down syndrome diagnosis. It’s a simple but powerful reminder of why we gather each year—to celebrate abilities, create opportunities, and advocate for acceptance.

Partnerships That Go Beyond the Check

Some of our strongest corporate partners have discovered that the greatest value isn’t simply having their logo displayed—it’s building relationships with our participants and becoming part of our community.

Our partners have found countless ways to make an impact beyond their financial sponsorships.

Liberty Coca-Cola Beverages and Metalfrio have donated incredible getaways for our auctions! At the ‘i have a voice’ Gala, you can bid on a week’s stay for 8 people at a villa in Portugal courtesy of Metalfrio. From Liberty Coca-Cola, 2 box seats at Madison Square Gardens (with food and drink included) are up for grabs! This year’s winning bidder was able to attend an NBA Playoff game!

Beazer Homes and Global Payments have hosted multiple volunteer service days at the Playhouse, bringing employees together while creating beautiful spaces and memorable experiences for our families.

McAlister’s Deli not only provides boxed lunches for our golfers and Gala volunteers, but also welcomes our adult participants each fall for a hands-on Test Kitchen experience at their GoTo Foods corporate office, where they build workplace skills and learn how new food items are created for the brand while having fun!

Coca-Cola Bottling United supports our events through beverage donations and auction items, helping us create an exceptional experience for attendees.

Tito’s Handmade Vodka enhances our Golf Classic with golfer swag bag donations, a popular tasting tent on the course, and creative auction baskets that help raise even more funds for our programs.

These partnerships have grown into lasting relationships built on shared values and a commitment to inclusion.

An Experience Your Team Won’t Forget

Our highest sponsorship levels include one of the most unique benefits we offer: the GiGi Prep Pop-Up Shop Experience.

This immersive experience brings participants from our GiGi Prep program directly to your workplace. Our young adults showcase the work, communication, and customer service skills they’ve developed by operating a pop-up retail shop featuring snacks, small gifts, and plenty of joyful interactions.

For many businesses, it’s an opportunity to meet the incredible individuals they are supporting while giving employees a firsthand look at the confidence, professionalism, and abilities of adults with Down syndrome.

It often becomes one of the most memorable experiences of the entire partnership.

More Than Brand Visibility

Today’s consumers want to support businesses that invest in their communities.

When your company partners with GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta, you’re demonstrating a commitment to inclusion, opportunity, and making a lasting difference for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

Your sponsorship helps provide free educational, therapeutic, career development, and social programs to hundreds of local families—all at no cost to them.

At the same time, your employees gain meaningful volunteer opportunities, your clients experience unforgettable events, and your brand becomes associated with one of the most uplifting missions in our community.
