GiGi’s Playhouse is a non-profit organization that provides free, therapeutic services for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

GiGi’s Playhouse is 99% volunteer run so all of the amazing work that is done could not be achieved without our volunteers, dedicated families, and generous community donors. 

We are hosting one of our largest fundraising events, our
GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge 5K, on Saturday, June 15th in Lincoln Park.

We are looking for a number of volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, including set-up, registration, water stations and cheering squad. Whether volunteers can offer a few hours or the entire morning, the support will make a significant difference in ensuring the event runs smoothly and is enjoyable for all participants! To sign up, volunteers can simply use our Sign-Up Genius link.

Last year, we had quiet a few St. Benedict parishioners volunteer at the event.
