By signing up you’ll not only boost awareness but also lend your support to our cause. No matter where you get involved, you are supporting FREE purposeful programming for families with loved ones with Down syndrome around the world.
Commit to being active by making your personal movement plan! You can track your progress on the Acceptance Challenge calendar with our Gen G Hearts! Then you can share your movement & fundraising goals and your “why” with your friends. You will be invited to the GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge private Facebook group to unite with our community, share progress, & root each other on. We ask that you submit your photos and videos so we can make a wonderful recap video of everyone moving for acceptance around the world later this summer!
We encourage everyone to join one of our teams or create their own and be a part of this worldwide movement. If your loved one with Down syndrome lives outside of the USA, join Team Worldwide. If your loved one is under 18 or prenatal, join the Blooming Buddies. If your loved one is 18+, join the Acceptance Avengers.If you volunteer your time with us or know someone who does, join our Encouragement Crew!
