Success depends on YOU!​

John, 59, wanted to learn how to manage money, and with our FREE 1:1 math tutoring at GiGi's Playhouse Twin Cities , he learned budgeting through his favorite artist: Cyndi Lauper.​

It wasn’t about a concert; it was about independence and being in charge of his own goals. ​

This Giving Tuesday, you can give the gift of success. Give now, even before Tuesday, to ensure GiGi's programs stay FREE for participants like John.​

Rising costs and declining donations put this success at risk. Without your support, thousands will not receive the support they need.​

Give early and change lives here: http://ow.ly/ocem106qW2i

YAY or NAY for broccoli? 🥦
Are you hoping to see it on your Thanksgiving table tomorrow?

Luke is! He really likes broccoli — and this week, during his last speech session of the fall, he rocked saying “broccoli” perfectly!! This word has been a tricky one in the past, so we’re celebrating this win right along with him. 💚👏

This fall, our GiGi’s Achievers stepped out into the community for fun-filled outings—and they didn’t disappoint! Their hard work, teamwork, and laughter made each adventure memorable.
Take a peek at our recent blog post for a closer look at this group and several other fall programs. And if you’re planning to visit the Festival of Trees, we’ve got an extra-special reason for you to go!

Flashback from Meribeth!
There were laughs (a lot of laughs!), games, food, and of course drinks. I loved getting to know the QC Gigi’s staff and board members better. And yes… what happens at conference stays at conference. LOL! (well, unless it's recorded!)
This was my first time attending the national conference, and I had a wonderful experience. Once I found my groove, I began absorbing so much information. My hope is to take everything I learned and use it to better myself as both a board member and a committee member.
It was especially nice to meet so many people with the same mindset, especially the younger attendees.
The best part by far was being there to watch Pam accept the Lifetime Achievement Award. I can’t think of anyone more deserving. It has truly been a highlight working with Pam.

We’re always grateful for our volunteers, but today we want to give an extra-thankful shout-out to Dr. Steph! Not only has she led yoga for us for ages, but she also recruits OT students to come in and support our participants from time to time. She is truly one of the most patient and understanding program leaders we have.

Dr. Steph can sense when the group needs a little extra breathing and calming, and she gently guides them back into focus—on their poses, on taking turns, and on being kind to one another. Her “Best of All” notes in post-program reports always highlight the participants’ wins.

A recent favorite:
“When we did plank, Lisa yelled, ‘Oh, yeah!’” 💗
Yoga may be ona small hiatus, but it will be back in February 2026.
