Dining for Down at Mi Raza Cocina

Join us on March 21, 2025 (Friday) from 8AM to 8PM for a special event celebrating World Down Syndrome Day!

About the Event

A portion of all proceeds from this day will go to Gigi’s Playhouse — a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Help us celebrate inclusion, spread awareness, and make a real difference in our community!

What is Dining for Down?

Dining for Down is a local El Paso fundraising initiative where restaurants pledge to donate a part of their daily sales to support Down syndrome causes. We’re proud to partner with Gigi’s Playhouse to make this event a success.

About Gigi’s Playhouse

Gigi’s Playhouse is a nonprofit organization that provides free educational, therapeutic, and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome. Every dollar raised helps them continue their mission to empower and inspire.

Why March 21?

World Down Syndrome Day falls on March 21 each year (3/21) to symbolize the extra (third) copy of chromosome 21 that characterizes Down syndrome. In 2025, this day is a Friday—perfect for celebrating with family and friends!
