SUPPORT GiGi’s IN THE CRESCENT CITY CLASSIC!

This year I will be walking in the Crescent City Classic to support GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans. GiGi’s provides free programming and resources to families with Down Syndrome.

They’re trying to get 50 participants to join their team in the Crescent City Classic. 50 people would get GiGi’s special privileges, including a team tent which would allow them to let more people know about Down Syndrome and GiGi’s. Additionally, if 50 people participate and each raise $200 in sponsorship, that amounts to ten thousand dollars that goes towards the programs that GiGi’s provides.

They are currently at 28 teammates. We could use your help.

Now before you say “I’m not running a 10 K race”, let me relieve you. You don’t have to.

You have a couple of options. You could do what I am doing and walk the race. Believe me, I’m not running one kilometer, much less ten. However, if you don’t want to walk either, you can be a virtual teammate! Yep, you don’t have to even go to the race to be on the team. You don’t even have to be in the same state! You would simply volunteer to be a virtual participant and gather your sponsors and help us raise money.

So how do you register? First click on this Run Sign Up link. That will take you to this GiGi’s team page. On the right side of the page it says “Register”. Click that button.

That takes you to the registration page. There you will fill out all your information and choose how you want to participate. Below you can see the four options. If you want to walk or run in the race, click on the second option, “run it for charity registration”. If you want to be a virtual participant, click on the last option, “virtual run it for charity registration”.

There’s one more page to fill out after this one.

Once you’ve completed your registration and finished making your profile, you will be given a link to your own personal sponsorship page so that people can donate. Share it on all your social media. And don’t forget to tag GiGi’s in your posts. You can also add yourself to the Facebook event page here.

I hope to see you out there on March 30th!

HELP ME SUPPORT GIGI’S PLAYHOUSE!

Alright y’all! For the first time ever, I will be voluntarily entering a foot race.

March 30th is the Crescent City Classic. I will be walking 10 kilometers across New Orleans to support Gigi’s Playhouse. Gigi’s is a free education and resource center for people with Down Syndrome and their families. I’m trying to raise a minimum of $200 in sponsorship. If you donate, all of that money goes to Gigi’s and helps people with Down Syndrome, including Remy!

If you want to sponsor me, you can go HERE to my racer profile.

But if you would like to enter the race on behalf of Gigi’s you can do so HERE. Gigi’s is trying to get fifty people to be part of their team. If fifty people do the race on their behalf and raise the 200 dollar minimum, that amounts to ten thousand dollars for their cause. Pretty cool.

Let’s do this!
