🌟 Pop Tabs Make a Big Difference! 🌟

This week, our staff delivered six one-gallon bags full of soda pop tabs to the Ronald McDonald House in Madison! 🏠❤️ These tiny tabs go a long way in supporting families with hospitalized children—and many of our own families benefit from the incredible services RMHC provides.

Let’s keep the momentum going! 💪 If you have pop tabs at home, school, or work, please consider donating them. Every tab helps provide comfort, care, and a place to stay for families in need.

📍 Drop them off anytime—we’ll make sure they get to the right place!

GiGi’s Playhouse Wausau

GiGi’s Playhouse is the ONLY nationwide network of Down syndrome achievement centers; changing lives through free, results-driven programs for individuals of all ages, families and communities. GiGi’s Playhouse is an inspirational and dedicated place for families to celebrate their child and benefit from free programs that unleash joy, confidence and continuous improvement. Playhouses empower children and adults to achieve their “Best of All” and to pursue their dreams. Founded by GiGi's Mom, Nancy Gianni, in Hoffman Estates, IL, the organization now includes 46 community Playhouses including the first global Playhouse location in Mexico. In helping individuals with Down syndrome, we can address our larger vision of global acceptance for people of all abilities. Playhouse programs, marketing and PR campaigns, impact partnerships and community engagements all aim to change society’s outdated perceptions by showcasing participants’ skills, contributions and character. By breaking down barriers and changing the way the world accepts individuals with Down syndrome, we can foster a daily mindset of life, love, acceptance and hope for everyone.

My name is Erica Erdman and I am the mother of Braxton who has Down syndrome. Before I had Braxton, I really had no idea what Down syndrome was. I was afraid of what the future would hold for Braxton based on the limited resources in our area. I was skeptical about the opportunities available for him and even more so, worried about how he would be accepted into the community. But what I have discovered to be a beacon to the Down syndrome community at large is GiGi’s Playhouse. I am so excited to introduce the North Central WI community to GiGi’s Playhouse and even more thrilled to involve YOU in this endeavor. This is what “community” is all about! Your contributions and donations will go towards the opening of the very first GiGi’s Playhouse in North Central, WI. YOU will be a part of this life changing community center, YOU will be a part of impacting the lives of so many. YOU will be a part of our dream of global acceptance!
