The 2026 GiGi's Playhouse Southern Tier 5K Dash for Down Syndrome was a tremendous success, and it would not have been possible without our incredible community of supporters. On behalf of everyone at GiGi's Playhouse Southern Tier, thank you to the 608 walkers, runners, volunteers, sponsors, donors, and cheerleaders who joined us to celebrate, advocate, and make a difference. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making the 2026 Dash for Down Syndrome our biggest and most impactful event yet. We can't wait to see you next year!

Our Mission: We make a lifetime commitment to changing lives and providing hope through the consistent delivery of FREE educational, therapeutic, and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and the community, using a replicable playhouse model.
