Join GiGi's NYC at our Annual Gala on Thursday, 10•19•23, in the heart of Times Square at The Edison Ballroom for a night you will always remember. We will celebrate THE NEXT DECADE of GiGi's NYC as we create opportunities, achieve success, and inspire all. We will recognize those who give their time, talent and treasure to ensure those with Down syndrome ACHIEVE. Our 2023 Gala honorees, Ruth Erickson, GiGi's NYC Board Member Emeritus, and Brian Lichtenstein, President of Gradiant Services, commit to continue their exemplary work on behalf of those with Down syndrome.
GiGi’s NYC serves over 1,000 people with Down syndrome and their families, almost 10% of the NYC Down syndrome population. We are the only organization in New York City solely dedicated to the development of individuals with Down syndrome, from birth through adulthood and at every phase of life.
Achievements by those with Down syndrome support their belonging as their whole selves to the broader community, improving the world and making it a better place to live, work and prosper. We look forward to seeing you at our 2023 Gala as you support the achievements of our diverse community.
