GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge 2024

WE, the people of the Down syndrome community are challenging YOU to move for acceptance!!     

You're invited to participate in the GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge!! Events range from World Down Syndrome Day (March 21) through June 23, 2024!   

What is the GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge?   

The GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge is a physical and social movement for acceptance!!   

The challenge is simple: join one of the 55+ events across the country and partake in the festivities to show your commitment to the inclusion of those with Down syndrome and all unique abilities!    

All GiGi’s Playhouse locations host their very own Acceptance Challenge, consisting of a fitness-based challenge and fun-filled activities fit for the whole family.    

How to Participate:   

Sign up for an event near you or host your own event! All GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge events have a fitness-based activity tied in, to challenge participants to be a part of something greater.   

Raise awareness and funds by signing up and inviting your peers to join your team! The funds and awareness you raise will go on in helping GiGi’s Playhouse change the way the world sees Down syndrome while sending a global message of acceptance for all!   

Why Participate?   

The best way to grow acceptance comes first through exposure and interaction. People with disabilities are often segregated from their peers starting at an early age, and as life goes on, it tends to form a disconnect between those with disabilities and those without. The GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge acts as a bridge that provides exposure, interaction and ultimately understanding to reach our goal of acceptance and inclusion!
