Support GiGi’s Playhouse: Shop Our Holiday Wishlist & Make a Difference

At GiGi’s Playhouse Deerfield, we are so insanely thankful every single day for the generous donors who make our mission possible. Because we are 100% funded by donations, every program, every milestone, and every smile is a direct result of your support. We truly wouldn’t be able to empower individuals with Down syndrome and their families without you. Your belief in our work fuels absolutely everything we do.

As we continue growing and expanding our impact, there are even more ways to contribute beyond traditional giving. One of the simplest (and most fun!) ways to support the Playhouse is by purchasing items from our program wish lists. These items directly support our educational, therapeutic, and social programs, ensuring our participants have the tools they need to thrive.

Each list is tailored specifically for the needs of that program! Not familiar with some of our programs? Here is a brief description of each with the link to their wish list!
