It\u2019s been a busy past few weeks for GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Cincinnati!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, February 11, we had our pre-build open house. This took place in a former FedEx location on Montgomery Road that\u2019s now unused space. It was the perfect place for us to show off how GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Cincinnati will look once it\u2019s open. Nancy and THE GiGi were at the pre-build open house and got to meet a whole new crew of people that evening. The room was filled with parents of children with Down syndrome, special educators, early interventionists and many more people who are curious about what we\u2019ll offer. A few representatives from Miami Valley Gaming also attended. Miami Valley Gaming has generously been running a rounding campaign to help raise funds for GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Cincinnati for the past few months. One of the representatives enjoyed tossing a ball with a little girl with Down syndrome and was having so much fun that she didn\u2019t want to leave!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, on Saturday, March 5, we had our second annual GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Cincinnati Brew HaHa. This took place at Great Wolf Lodge in Mason. The event was packed with people and filled with engaging speakers, funny improv skits, heartwarming stories, delicious food and drinks, awesome raffles and silent auctions and much more. Miami Valley Gaming even joined us on stage to present a check for $20,000 to help us open our doors. In total, our Brew HaHa raised more than $65,000! We are so grateful. This will go a long way in bringing GiGi\u2019s Playhouse to Cincinnati sooner rather than later. Thank you!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One common question we received from both of these amazing events was: \u201cHow can I help?\u201d People can\u2019t wait until GiGi\u2019s Playhouse Cincinnati opens, and they want to do anything they can to help facilitate that. Here are a few things that anyone can do to help and get involved:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
