We’re Going to Prom Gala Update

The 2025 GiGi’s “We’re Going to Prom” Gala was a fantastic success. The Hilton was decorated, well, “to the Hilt” and the event was better than any prom we attended in high school. No cliques, no acne, no chaperones keeping hooligans away from the punchbowl – just a fantastic crowd of nearly 400 people who were there to celebrate, have fun and raise more than $220,000 for GiGi’s Playhouse Des Moines!

HUGE thanks go out to our amazing sponsors, our fantastic Gala Committee, our volunteers, our rockstar DJ DAS, our designer Stuart Alexander, Auctioneer David Whitaker, and our friends at Capture Photo Booth. Thanks, too, to the incredible Hilton event staff who helped to make it a night to remember!

We can’t wait to do it all over again on Friday, March 7, 2026. Hope to see you there!
