See you in 2026!
Thank you, Chicago!
Our 5th Annual Chicago GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge was an unforgettable day filled with energy, joy, and community! It was our biggest event yet, with nearly 300 attendees coming together to celebrate acceptance and inclusion.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made this celebration possible. To our amazing fundraising teams, thank you for helping strengthen the movement of acceptance and inclusion. To our dedicated event committee and volunteers, we couldn’t have done it without your hard work and support. To our generous sponsors — Commonwealth Running Club, The Bates Family, Jolene Wise & Steve Silverman, Blue Bird Day, PlaySpark, Adobe Acrobat, and ZenBusiness — thank you for standing with us.
Because of your support, we’ve raised $49,000 to keep our programs free and accessible to families in our community. We’re only $11,000 away from our goal, and it’s not too late to give! Be sure to check if your employer offers corporate matching to help us cross the finish line.
We’re proud to share that Chicago ranked in the top 20 Playhouses nationwide this year out of 49! With your continued support, we’re aiming for the top 10 next year. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. 2026, let's GO!
Your Support Changes Lives
