Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day with GiGis Playhouse
March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day, and GiGi’s Playhouse Quad Cities invites you to help celebrate!
World Down Syndrome Day is a global event to raise public awareness, promote inclusivity, encourage advocacy, and support the wellbeing of those living with Down syndrome. The 21st day of March was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome, which causes Down syndrome.
