Relationship Building for a Global Community
Providing us with a sense of belonging, support, and shared purpose, communities are sources of friendship, identity, and mutual aid.
The Virtual Playhouse was formed with a goal of providing opportunities and a virtual platform for people to come together, regardless of geographic boundaries, to exchange ideas, seek advice, and foster meaningful relationships.

Jeremy
Along with other families, volunteers, staff and supporters, “During the month of May, we set a GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge – Virtual Movement goal.
