The Playhouse Engine

Little FingersRunning a Playhouse takes a lot of work. There are programs to  develop, materials to gather, and never-ending opportunities to spread positive awareness for people with Down syndrome.

We’re fortunate to have had a great year behind us, and a great year ahead. But all of the great work we’re doing requires resources, both in the way of people and finance. As we get rolling into 2012, we’re setting up a Fundraising Committee to help us expand our programming.

Under the direction of the Fundraising chair, Brent Plunkett, the Fundraising Committee will focus on increasing our participation in large fundraising events (like the Gala and 5K), soliciting and writing more grants and developing corporate partnerships and sponsorships.

The fundraising committee is the engine that makes the Playhouse hum. And if you’re the sort of person who likes to tinker with the works, it could use you. The commitment is not large — about four hours a month — but it is the most important work you can do for and with the Playhouse. Interested? Email us.

Register for the Gala

 

Have you registers for our gala?

On Feb. 25, Playhouses from around the country will all gather to celebrate GiGi’s and the work we’re doing. The Chicagoland Gala (supporting all area Playhouses) will meet at Belvedere Banquets in Elk Grove Village. There will be dinner, dancing, silent and live auctions and raffles. Tickets are $125/person and are available online.

Meanwhile, we’re still collecting items for the silent and live auction, as well as wine bottles for an “Instant Wine Cellar” of more than 100 bottles of wine. Want to help? Drop off a bottle at the Playhouse the next time you’re in the neighborhood.
