Christmas in July Gala – Early Bird Tickets & Sponsorships now available for purchase!  

Please join us on Saturday, July 13, 2024, for an evening of Christmas Magic as we celebrate our participants and raise funds in support of our “Believe in Our Build” campaign to bring the first GiGi’s Playhouse to South Carolina. Dress in your best Christmas inspired cocktail attire and enjoy an evening of Christmas Wonder! 

Thanks to the generosity of our founding partner, City Wide Facility Solutions, our buildout is now funded. However, we must be ready to fully support our families the day we open. Help bring Christmas early to GiGi’s Playhouse Charleston by filling our playhouse with the equipment, resources and supplies needed so we can best serve our beautiful Down syndrome community! 

Early bird ticket pricing is available until May 15th with options for individual, couple and table purchases! It will be an evening of inspiration to include the following: 

  • Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dancing  
  • Guest Speaker, Nick Doyle – A national public speaker, member of the first all Down syndrome improv troupe, drummer, and a GiGi’s Playhouse Canton self-advocate, the “Big Dog” Nick Doyle is the perfect mix of high energy and charm! He will have you shedding a tear one minute and laughing out loud the next. Learn more about Nick by visiting Get to know the Improvaneers!: Nick Doyle
