Key Community Partner helps GiGi’s Playhouse

One of our key community partners are the students of Emory University’s Doctoral of Physical Therapy program.  These dedicated students truly have a heart for the kids at GiGi’s and have put together a program to equip kids and parents with tools to increase physical activity, build strength, and adopt good nutrition habits.

FallFitFest15The school has partnered with GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta the past three years helping to conduct our annual Fall Fit Fest where the students organize fitness, nutrition, and craft stations including yoga activities, an obstacle course, target throwing, fun with a parachute, dancing and even interaction  with horses.

 

In addition, they have provided seminars for parents to give practice activities that they can do with their kids at home.

This year, they manned a youth fitness area during our T21 Run in march with lots of games and activities.  Each little guest was given a personal “trainer” for the day so parents could participate in the run. emory-race-thank-you

We wish to send a very special thank you to our friends at Emory!
