As we reflect on all of the wonderful events, fundraisers, and program activities that we experienced, we are reminded that everything we do for individuals with Down syndrome is a direct reflection of the amazing community that we are blessed to be a part of.&nbsp; In the past 12 months, we provided <strong>12,524<\/strong>&nbsp;hours of FREE programming, made possible by <strong>5,662<\/strong>&nbsp;hours of volunteer service and countless community donations. As we close out the year, we are acutely aware that none of what we accomplished would have been possible without the incredible dedication and generosity of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers&#8230; and for that, we are beyond grateful!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working behind the scenes to see those one or two hours amount to this over the course of a year&nbsp;fills our hearts. We are so lucky to have the wonderful, consistent program leads and volunteers to help us pull those numbers off! If it weren&#8217;t for them, we wouldn&#8217;t be able to come close to what we did this year. All in all, it was one of the best years yet for our programs AND events at GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse Rockford.
