GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge 2023

With every MOVEment you make, you are MOVING the world in a more accepting direction. Who are you moving for?

I am the GiGi, I am the Chief Inspiration Officer of GiGi's Playhouse. My mom started this organization for me to help change the way the world sees people with Down syndrome! I love GiGi's Playhouse, they give all programs to me and my friends for FREE. I do not like when people are mean and make fun of people. It hurts my feelings and I want everyone to be happy and to be accepted! Please join the acceptance challenge, and join me and all my friends on Sunday, June 11th 2023 to move for acceptance!  

Move for Acceptance with me at my event at the NOW Arena (Sears Center) in Hoffman Estates, on June 11th at 8am for a our 5K Fun Run, 1 Mile Walk for Acceptance, Dash for Down Syndrome and a fun filled day of music, food and games! 

There will be soo many amazing people moving for acceptance!! Please be apart of our global Movement for Acceptance, with over 50 events happening across the country, while hosting thousands of others virtually across the world!

Click Join the Team and join the Hoffman Estates Acceptance Challenge 5K to be apart of the fun! If you can't attend the event, any donation amount will go on to fund the life changing programs for me and my friends! Thank you for helping us change the world!!

We are going to MOVE for acceptance because we believe in GiGi's Playhouse and its mission of global acceptance for all.  Please help us support GiGi's by donating to our team page, joining our team, and by spreading our message of acceptance to your friends.

Every movement we make and every dollar WE raise will say “We can and will accept you as you are!” Now lets get movin!!   

People who are different don’t get to shed that “differentness” at the end of the day. They struggle constantly for acceptance. GiGi’s has a vision of a world—not that far away—that is accepting of everyone. All our differences, all our “otherness,” and all our unique abilities will be accepted and encouraged. That’s what we’re really working toward. We call it Generation G because it’s about global acceptance for all.  

GiGi’s Playhouse offers FREE therapeutic and educational programs to help individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community be the best they can be! Help us spread their message of acceptance for ALL!!
