Caroline Faber has been actively working on ensuring that Gigi's Playhouse Long Island becomes a reality for her Bat Mitzvah project. Gigi's Playhouse is a non-profit organization that works to educate and empower people who have Down syndrome and to increase acceptance of it. With over 40 locations, Caroline felt that New York City was too far for children from Long Island. A Long Island location would provide programs more locally such as therapy and exercise programs, sign language classes, gross and fine motor skill classes, teen gatherings, choral groups, parent support and career development for older people with Down syndrome.
