🎉 October Volunteer Spotlight Alert! 🎉
We’re thrilled to shine a light on one incredible member of our community, Fernanda Mooney, whose passion and dedication have made a world of difference at GiGi’s Playhouse Milwaukee.

🌟 Fernanda was a driving force behind our annual Brew HaHa event. We couldn’t be more grateful for her energy, creativity, and the countless ways she helped this event be a success. But we'd be remiss if we didn't also mention her signature stuffed cookies from Beijos Brazilian Sweets that she donated as part of the event dessert offerings. (Chef's kiss) Deeelish!! 🍪

Why GiGi’s Exists

Check us out at http://www.gigisplayhouse.org/milwaukee GiGi's Playhouses are Down Syndrome Achievement Centers.

GiGi’s Playhouse was created to change the way the world views a Down syndrome diagnosis and send a global message of acceptance for all.

We understand that many families are first time parents and they need us. Many young parents do not expect, or know in advance of their child’s diagnosis, and they need renewed hope and genuine acceptance from day one.

At GiGi’s Playhouse families are never alone. From a prenatal diagnosis to career skills, we make a lifetime commitment to remain by their side. Families are empowered with all the tools their child needs to succeed!
