Event Overview
The GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge is a physical and social movement for ACCEPTANCE.
Thousands from around the world will walk, run, and dash in an epic MOVEment for acceptance.
We're uniting across race, gender, abilities, beliefs, and more, because every person deserves to be accepted as they are. Our incredible friends living with Down syndrome are leading the way as the masters of acceptance!
Join us and the Syracuse community as we celebrate all we have to be proud of, connect our community and create a ripple effect of acceptance!
See you in
