"We live in a world that is often separated based on differences," says Sandy Juarez Board President of GiGi's Playhouse New Orleans and mom to pre-teenager Ella, who has Down syndrome. "The time is now for people to come together regardless of their race, gender, diagnosis, sexual orientation, or religion. We need universal acceptance for all people, which is why the people of the Down syndrome community challenge you to move for acceptance. Let’s showcase that every person should be accepted for who they are!"
