As World Down Syndrome Day approaches on March 21st, GiGi’s Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Centers, a global leader in the Down syndrome community, is calling upon people worldwide to visit www.IAcceptYou.org and take the #GenerationG pledge.
I Promise to be #GenerationG.
I will make a conscious decision to be better every day.
I will be Accepting.
I will be Generous.
I will be Kind.
#GenerationG is a global, social campaign for acceptance, not just of people with Down syndrome, but for people of all abilities! With 60 GiGi’s Playhouse locations in the US and Mexico and our Virtual Playhouse platform providing services in 89 countries, we change lives through the consistent delivery of free educational, therapeutic-based, and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and the community, through a replicable playhouse model.
With the launch of the #GenerationG Pledge campaign, GiGi’s Playhouse aims to ignite a global movement that celebrates the uniqueness and potential of people of all abilities.
“At GiGi’s Playhouse, we believe that every individual, regardless of ability, deserves to be celebrated and included,” said Nancy Gianni, Chief Belief Officer at GiGi’s Playhouse. “Taking the pledge at IACCEPTYOU.org opens up dialogue for families, schools and in the workplace to talk about things that may be overlooked or uncomfortable but need to be said. Together, we can make this world a place where everyone is accepted as they are.”
As part of the World Down Syndrome Day celebrations, GiGi’s 59 Playhouse locations will be hosting a series of local and virtual events and activities aimed at raising awareness and promoting inclusion. There will be something for everyone to participate in and show their support for the Down syndrome community. The community is invited to stop by or join virtually!
Join over 366,000 who have already taken the pledge at IACCEPYOU.org. For more information about GiGi’s Playhouse, visit gigisplayhouse.org.
