GiGi's Playhouse Chicago invites you to be part of our vital End of the Year Giving Campaign, aiming to raise $65,000! Your support is a lifeline for over 750 families in Chicago, empowering them through our free therapeutic, educational, and career development programs.
We have seen incredible growth in 2024, expanding our offerings like GiGiFIT Adult, Art Explosion Kids, GiGi Professional, and the Amina Grace Speech and Language program. This past year alone, we provided 21 different programs and over 4,557 hours of active participation, continuing to make a meaningful impact on the Down syndrome community.
However, this year has been particularly challenging for GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago. We are facing a significant financial shortfall, with donations coming in far lower than in previous years. As a result, our sustainability is at risk, and without additional support, we will struggle to continue delivering the high-quality, life-changing programs that our families rely on. We need YOUR help more than ever to continue serving our incredible community.
A contribution of any size makes a huge impact, and donors like you are truly the backbone of our organization. Becoming a monthly donor is especially helpful, as it allows us to plan and execute long-term projects with greater stability. Here are some examples of what your contribution can support:
$5 covers a welcome bag for new families!
$10 covers materials for literacy and math tutoring!
$25 covers cleaning supplies!
$50 covers one Amina Grace speech therapy session!
$100 supports monthly internship programming!
