Big energy and even bigger smiles at this weekend’s GiGiFIT Adult program at GiGi’s Playhouse Rochester! 💪

Led by one of our incredible key volunteers, Josh, our adults showed up ready to move, encourage one another, and celebrate every win. From warm-ups to strength and balance activities, the room was full of motivation, teamwork, and fun.

GiGiFIT is our purposeful fitness program designed to improve strength, balance, coordination, endurance, and confidence for individuals with Down syndrome.

Our Tuesday morning Fantastic Friends was full of love today! ❤️

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, our theme was hearts and all the things that keep them happy and healthy. We talked about ways to care for our hearts like staying active, dancing, spending time with friends, laughing, and making healthy choices that help us feel our best.

Of course, dancing was a favorite! Participants created their very own playlist and turned the morning into a dance party. The smiles were big, the moves were even bigger, and there were plenty of happy, healthy hearts all around. 💃🕺

Moments like these remind us that caring for our hearts isn’t just about our bodies, it’s also about connection, joy, and having fun together.

Love was in the air at GiGi’s Playhouse Rochester on Friday night at our Teen Valentine’s Dance 💕🪩

A huge THANK YOU to the Spencerport High School seniors for hosting such a special evening. They transformed the Playhouse with beautiful Valentine’s décor and spent the entire night dancing, laughing, and building meaningful connections with our participants. Your kindness and energy truly made the night unforgettable!

The dance floor was never empty, from the first song to the last, our teens kept the party going and had an absolute blast. You could feel the joy, confidence, and friendship in every moment. It was a night full of heart, smiles, and so much fun… we’re still feeling the love! ❤️

We are so grateful for a community that shows up, spreads kindness, and makes memories like these possible. This night was one for the books!

Busy days are our favorite days at the Playhouse! 💙

We kicked off the morning with a visit from the Mercy girls! After touring the Playhouse, they jumped right in by helping organize our kitchen and then got creative making Valentine’s Dance decorations for this Friday. We are so grateful for their helping hands and big hearts!

Later in the morning, we were beyond excited to welcome back some familiar faces, our former GiGi Prep students, now officially GiGi U students! Watching these amazing young women continue to grow, learn, and shine is one of the best parts of what we do. We are so excited for another incredible GiGi U session with this wonderful group.

Full hearts, busy rooms, and so much joy. Just another great day at GiGi’s Playhouse Rochester 💙✨

Wishlist Wednesday 💙

With our Playhouse back in full swing, our days are busy, joyful, and full of smiles, which also means our snack shelves are getting a little low.

We’re currently looking for both gluten-free and regular snacks to help keep our participants fueled between programs. Any donation, big or small, helps us continue creating a welcoming space for everyone who walks through our doors.

We are so incredibly grateful for this community and all the ways you support our Playhouse. Thank you for helping keep our busy Playhouse running strong 💙

Cooking was back this week and this time for our adults!

We are SO proud of this crew for stepping out of their comfort zones and trying something brand new: chicken pesto pizza!

Some participants were unsure about the recipe at first, but after making it (and tasting it!), it turned out to be a big hit. Even those who didn’t end up loving the flavor still tried it and had so much fun during the process.

We love seeing our participants challenge themselves, build confidence, and try something new, especially when it inspires them to want to make the recipe again at home with family and friends!

01/25/2026

Due to the anticipated winter weather, GiGi’s Playhouse Rochester will be closed on Monday, January 26.

We hope all of our participants, families, and volunteers stay safe and warm as the storm moves through. ❄️💙

It may still be chilly outside, but our Spring Session kickoff warmed things right up at GiGi’s Playhouse Rochester! 🌸🔥

We had such a great first day back filled with smiles, learning, and connection. One of the highlights of the night was our Teen Cooking class, led by our awesome volunteer Will, where our teens cooked up some delicious tacos 🌮 and had an absolute blast.

We loved welcoming back our volunteers (both familiar faces and new friends) and couldn’t ask for a better start to the Spring Session! 💙💛
