Gigi's Playhouse Raleigh provides individuals with Down syndrome free career development, educational, and therapeutic-based programs. They strive to support families and to "send a global message of acceptance for all."
To recognize the organization for their positive impact in the community, they've been awarded the April 2021 Triangle NC Cares Award, sponsored by the Ricci Law Firm.
"Down syndrome is the largest chromosomal disability in our country and yet, it is the least funded. From a prenatal diagnosis to career skills, we make a lifetime commitment to remain by their side. Families are empowered with all the tools their child needs to succeed! Through free programs and through our Generation G Campaign for global acceptance, we EMPOWER families by maximizing opportunities for daily achievement and lasting acceptance. To ensure lasting acceptance, we must show the world what individuals with Down syndrome are truly capable of achieving as students, co-workers, volunteers, friends, and valued members of their communities. Our program outcomes help advance this vital social impact goal."
