Mission Statement
To change the way the world views Down syndrome and to send a global message of acceptance for all.
About This Cause
GiGi’s Playhouse is a network of Down Syndrome Achievement Centers with the mission to change the way the world views Down syndrome through community campaigns, educational programs, and by empowering individuals with Down syndrome and their families. GiGi’s Playhouse Tampa will make a lifetime commitment to support and empower families from prenatal diagnosis, birth and through to adulthood by offering no-cost therapeutic, educational and career development programs. Founded by a mother in Illinois 15 years ago, GiGi’s Playhouse has grown to 39 Playhouses in the U.S. and Mexico. Tampa will be the 3rd Florida location. The Grant will enable GiGi’s Playhouse Tampa to open to fulfill the mission and program objectives of opening the Tampa area’s only Down syndrome achievement center. GiGi's Playhouse Tampa provides FREE math, literacy, social, cognitive, and physical services to and for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. GiGi's Playhouse Tampa volunteers (all of the Tampa team are volunteers) constantly and consistently raise funds to help offset some of the costs associated with raising a child with special needs. There is no age limit for participants as it is our belief that once someone joins the GiGi's Playhouse Tampa family, they are a part of our family for life.
