Our first annual 5K 321 Dash was a super day of fun and exercise, with people from all over Long Island coming out to support a wonderful cause. The first annual 5K Superhero event exceeded our expectations as we surpassed our goal of 150 runners and walkers. All the proceeds will be put towards the free therapeutic, educational, and career development services that GiGi’s Playhouse Long Island offers to individuals with Down syndrome, autism, or any other learning disability. Thank you to our sponsors: Sunbelt Rentals, Contour Mortgage, FIT Crunch, Pervine Foods, Professional Care Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy, Athletic Performance Training, Bulova’s Restorations, GFI Electric, and The Resource Group.
