MOVE for Acceptance at our annual 5K, the GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge!
Mark your calendars and get ready to move for acceptance! GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta is thrilled to announce our upcoming GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge event, happening on Saturday, March 29 at Grant Park. This exciting day will be filled with energy, community spirit, and a shared goal of fostering acceptance and inclusion for all.
The GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge is a physical and social MOVEment for acceptance! Our goal is to globally unite 1 million supporters of the Down syndrome community to say “We can and will accept you as you are!” How can we do this?

How many participants can we get in Atlanta?! That is all up to YOU!
