You can support the Dash for Down Syndrome event for GiGi’s Playhouse Simi Valley in a variety of ways:
- Forming a Team – Participate in any, or all, of the event’s three fitness activities and check out our Team Incentive program
- Sponsorships – There are numerous sponsorship opportunities for which to support both the Dash for Down syndrome event and GiGi’s Playhouse Simi Valley
- Community Corral – The purpose of the “Community Corral”, is to provide a space at the 2024 Dash
for Down Syndrome as part of the GiGi’s Fit Acceptance Challenge Event for community members to interact and connect with one another in order to form a sense of community for those attending the event and beyond. Our hope is that this will be accomplished through organizations or individuals hosting an activity (10x10 Canopy space provided). Each table will provide an activity or opportunity that fosters connection and community. What the activity is will be up to the discretion of the host of the table pending the approval of the GiGi’s Run Committee. The application process will help us ensure each activity is safe for our community and organize the Community Corral most efficiently. Thank you for your desire to support your community! - Vendor Participation – We are accepting applications
