FOUNDED: 2016
HOW WE HELP: GiGi’s Playhouse Madison is a Down syndrome achievement center dedicated to providing free educational, therapeutic and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome of all ages. Our mission is to change the way the world views Down syndrome and to send a global message of acceptance for all.
Locally, we offer one-on-one literacy and math tutoring, speech and language therapy, social opportunities, and career readiness programs designed to help each participant reach their fullest potential. All programs are evidence-based, purposeful and free for families.
THE IMPACT OF YOUR GIFT: Donations fund one-on-one literacy and math tutoring, speech and language therapy, social programs that foster friendships across age groups, and career development for teens and adults. They also power community events like our Dash for Down Syndrome 5K and Generation G Gala, which celebrate and advocate for our community. In-kind items‚ craft supplies, snacks and program materials directly support participants, while financial gifts keep our Playhouse a safe, welcoming space for more than 415 families each year.
WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT US:
- Donate money to fund free literacy and math tutoring, speech therapy and career development programs.
- Volunteer your time as a tutor, program assistant or event helper at programs like Destination Discovery or big events such as our annual gala.
- Donate supplies such as craft materials, snacks and program-specific items that keep our Playhouse stocked for participants.
- Attend and support events like our Generation G Gala or community celebrations, which raise funds and awareness.
