Moline, IL, March 4, 2017 – GiGi’s Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Centers will blaze yet another new trail at the 2017 “I have a voice” Gala.
The Gala takes place on March 4, 2017 at iWireless Center in Moline, IL in addition to the young adults, mentors and host families, the gala will feature a sit down dinner, cocktail reception, dancing and live entertainment and chances to win various auction items, complimentary photo booths – and a call-to-action for even greater acceptance and generosity towards children and adults with Down syndrome. Every GiGi’s participant has a voice and your support helps ensure their voice is heard. Your voice also helps spread awareness and acceptance.
This past year, we launched a national campaign called Generation G. It is a campaign to encourage everyone to always be accepting, generous and kind. Which is something our world needs more of. Individuals with Down syndrome will accept anyone at any time and we hope that you will do the same. All of the Gala guests will be invited to take the Generation G challenge, and to help spread the message of acceptance.
For tickets, tables, and sponsorship opportunities at the 2017 “I have a voice” Gala please visit www.gigisplayhouse.org/quadcities/gala. Donations to the gala will fund educational programs like literacy tutoring; therapeutic-based programs like speech and language therapy. All programs are 100% free to Playhouse families.
