Thank You For An Incredible 5K!

What an incredible day! Thanks to the generosity, enthusiasm, and dedication of our amazing community, this year’s GiGi’s Playhouse 5K was a tremendous success.

Together, we raised more than $100,000 to support free educational, therapeutic, and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Every registration, donation, sponsorship, and fundraising effort helped make this milestone possible.

The event brought together participants of all ages for a morning filled with energy, inspiration, and celebration. From our runners and walkers to our volunteers, sponsors, team captains, and donors, every person played a part in making a meaningful impact.

Beyond the dollars raised, the 5K showcased the power of community. It was a day filled with smiles, encouragement, inclusion, and the shared belief that individuals with Down syndrome deserve every opportunity to thrive.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, and cheered us on. Because of you, we can continue changing lives and creating a more accepting and inclusive world for all.

We can’t wait to see you next year!

Thank you team captains!

Wow! Because of YOU, our 5K was a tremendous success!

Thank you for creating a team, your tireless fundraising, participation and advocating for our community! 

Together, we made a huge impact for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Your support helps us continue providing free, life-changing programs and building a more accepting and inclusive community.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for making a difference!
