GiGi's 5K - Dash for Down syndrome
GiGi's Playhouse Charlotte hosts a community 5K on 08/29/2026 at GiGi's Charlotte, 9101 Kings Parade Blvd, Charlotte, NC. The event welcomes running, walking, rolling, pushing a stroller, and those who come to support participants.

Participants can create personal fundraising pages to collect donations for the Playhouse's programs. Those who cannot attend in person may still contribute through donations or sponsorships. A donation cutoff is listed for 12/31/2026.
There are two registration-related deadlines noted: registration to secure a Dash Tee is by August 9, 2026, and general registration closes on August 28, 2026.
