How can you fundraise with your 2019 Walk & Fest Team and make an impact on our Fargo Playhouse? Here are some incentives!
GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo is exited to announce Believe in Our Build 2.0, a campaign for the expansion and remodeling of our current Playhouse space. With this expansion, there are many opportunities for your team to help share in our mission with these fundraising incentives!
The top fundraising teams in each of the following categories will be awarded window space to feature their child with Down syndrome. All funds eligible must be raised between August 1st, 2019 – October 15, 2019 and clearly earmarked for the Walk & Fest campaign and the team name they are to be applied towards. It is each Team Captains responsibility to ensure this information is clearly provided. Only one window per family*.
Window 1 and 2
The top two teams that raise a minimum of $7,500 for the 2019 Walk & Fest.
Window 3
The top team that obtains the most 3-2-1 Champions, minimum of 21, for the 2019 Walk & Fest.
What is a 3-2-1 Champion? Be a GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo champion by donating $21 each month for 1-year! Each day the voice of people with Down syndrome, and those who live and work with them, grows louder. For less than a $1 per day, you can make an impact. Specific impacts of your gift may include:
More individuals learning to read and write.
More individuals gaining greater self-confidence.
More individuals learning to count and practice arithmetic.
More individuals improving their motor skills and social skills.
More program development for continued progress and achievement.
The long-term outcomes of your monthly gift are courage, empowerment, and achievement.
Be sure to indicate your team name
