GiGi's Step To Accept Virtual Run, Walk and Ride for Global Acceptance made history on Saturday, June 6, 2020 by logging over ONE BILLION steps for Global Acceptance!

Those steps not only took us around the world for global acceptance but to the moon and back, TWICE!  A hundred thousand GiGi's believers logged over 1 million miles on Saturday, June 6th to say, "I CAN AND WILL ACCEPT YOU AS YOU ARE!"  This history-making event was hosted virtually by Nancy and THE GiGi Gianni with 60 locations across the country and in Mexico.

This event was planned after 50+ GiGi's events and 4,400 free program hours a week were suspended indefinitely at all GiGi's locations due to COVID-19.  We first launched GiGi's At Home with LIVE and On-Demand programs to combat the program loss for the families and then launched Step To Accept to help make up the 76% revenue loss and to keep people moving during quarantine while spreading a global mission of ACCEPTANCE FOR ALL!!

See below what we were able to do TOGETHER!

Over 1,000,000,000 Steps 
Over 1,000,000 miles  

Almost 100,000 people  

We all came together virtually, for GLOBAL ACCEPTANCE!

GiGi’s Playhouse network of 60 locations and startups was hit hard with the cancellation of over 50 GiGi’s events due to Covid19. So, in typical GiGi’s style, we came back with the biggest and best event ever! Introducing GiGi’s Virtual Step to Accept Challenge!

Lock Laces® and GiGi’s Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Centers have partnered to showcase the many different kinds of warriors there are in this world. The two companies joined forces with a common goal of bringing acceptance and kindness to those not fairly seen as warriors, but earn that title every day through hard work and determination.
