What a great way to kick off Down Syndrome Acceptance Month…Sunday, October 1st was our 6th Annual Bunco Down Benefit!  The room was filled with 250 participants, all of which were there to support GiGi’s Playhouse McHenry County Down Syndrome Achievement Center and to help us with our mission; to change the way the world views Down syndrome!  The day began with Smiling faces, tons of raffles and silent auctions to bid on.  Once everyone found their way to their “pod”, the event began with a few minutes of acceptance and awareness about Down syndrome and GiGi’s Playhouse McHenry County.  Val Lucius, Aiden’s Mom, gave a wonderful speech about her family’s experience at the Playhouse from the first moment they walked through the doors.  Val talked about what a huge part GiGi’s has played not only in Aiden’s life, but the lives of all their children!  We can’t thank Val enough for sharing her story and helping us spread acceptance!

A very special thank you to the dedicated Bunco committee, volunteers, donors and sponsors for all that you did to make this such a successful event!  See you all next year on
