GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge: Another HUGE Success!

The weather was only the beginning of what made Saturday, August 23rd so special. The temps and clear skies also set the stage for a great GiGi’s Playhouse 5K Donut Run and One Mile Inspirational Walk!

We had 39 teams joining us and a total of 525 people that took part, raising $50,221,85 and still counting!

GiGi’s wants to thank the sponsors, the volunteers, the activity booth hosts and the families that joined together to make this event so wonderful. And our thanks, too, to all the people that donated. Thanks to everyone for helping ensure that our programs for newborns, children, teens and adults with Down syndrome and all families remain 100% free!
