Create a Down syndrome buzz!

Dancing for Down syndrome is in full force at the Playhouse.dance-4

30 families have created personal pages – our goal is 50!

We’ve raised $13,000 – our goal is $50,000 – sound impossible? It’s not!dance2

This campaign builds momentum in these last 2- weeks before the celebration on May 16th. It’s powerful because people share their personal stories about why the Down syndrome community is important to them.  It’s successful because thousands of people give what they can and are introduced to the work of GiGi’s Playhouse and the power of our community…. and they have an option to support us…

The Playhouse needs your help. Every story that’s told, every page that’s launched is promoted on our social media and is featured on theDSC_0412 ceiling of our playhouse, which is now a tapestry of stories and photos.

Take a moment to share your story.  Join us in DANCING FOR DOWN SYNDROME – and – if you can –  celebrate with us on May 16th.

Make this city vibrate with good will towards our very special friends with Down syndrome.

Call us to get your marketing kit: (646) 801-7529

  • a sponsorship letter you can use if you know of an organization that can sponsor this campaign & party
  • a sample letter we are personalizing for everyone in our database – these are great for handing out. We’ll make one just for you!
  • A newsletter explaining the campaign
  • A donation jar label that you can print out and glue to a jar – I have one in my building lobby and everyday it earns about $15 dollars.

Thank you for creating a buzz about the real potential of individuals with Down syndrome and contributing to the sustainability of GiGi’s Playhouse NYC!
