🏈✨ We’re celebrating an incredible finish! ✨🏈

GiGi’s Playhouse Tampa is proud to share that we came in 2nd place in this year’s Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation Giving Bowl! While we didn’t take home the $50,000 grand prize, we are so grateful to have received $20,000 from the foundation, in addition to the many generous donations made throughout the competition.

This experience was truly amazing to be part of. We loved seeing our community come together to support not only GiGi’s Playhouse Tampa, but all of the incredible organizations involved in the Giving Bowl. Congratulations to the other athletes and charities who competed—it was inspiring to be part of something so exciting and impactful!

Most importantly, this competition helped us spread the word about GiGi’s Playhouse and our mission, allowing more people in our community to learn about our free programs for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. 💙

Thank you to every donor, supporter, and advocate who helped us get here. We are beyond grateful! 🙌 And a special thank you to Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot for representing GiGi’s Playhouse Tampa during the Giving Bowl! ⚾

If you would like to continue supporting the Playhouse, consider becoming a 3.21 Champion donor by giving just $21 a month. Your monthly support helps provide sustainability for the Playhouse and ensures we can continue offering free, life-changing programs for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. 💙 You can sign up by going to our website, by using the link in our bio, or by following the link here: https://ow.ly/JO7o50YEWIG

Thrilled to have been able to award our very first grant post Aiming For Acceptance Clayshoot to REConnections Education Center!

Because of YOU, we were able to get them $15000 closer to their plans of expansion to serve more families and fund the supplies and resources that were needed to support their upcoming music programs and more 👏

We are beyond grateful for our communities trust and engagement that continue to make opportunities like this possible. This is how we build something bigger than ourselves.

This is what it’s all about.

Big moments. Loud laughs. Friendly competition. And a community that shows up every single time.

Our 6th Annual Aiming for Acceptance Clay Shoot was one for the books, and this video says it all.

If you were there, you already know. If you missed it… we’ll see you next time.
