See you in 2026!

Thank you

THANK YOU for celebrating acceptance with us. We are so grateful to everyone who braved the chilly weather to join us for our 2025 Dash for Down Syndrome! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every runner, walker, donor, sponsor, volunteer, and cheerleader who made this event so special. On this day, YOU helped bring our mission to life through every step, smile, and high five.

Thank you again to our generous sponsors whose support fuels our free, purposeful programs at GiGi's Playhouse Canton.

To our amazing families and friends who hit the ground running (literally) by channeling your support for your loved one and for our Playhouse, we love you and are so proud of all the spirit and strength that you brought this year! This isn't just GiGi's Playhouse, this is YOUR Playhouse.

We can’t wait to see everyone back next year!

Our Mission

We challenge you to MOVE for ACCEPTANCE

Your Support Changes Lives
