As Summer slips into Fall, college football takes center stage. And, as many Iowans pronounce an allegiance to the Hawkeyes or the Cyclones, many participants at GiGi\u2019s Playhouse will be cheering for their hometown Drake Bulldogs. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because our Fall Intern Tatum Aragon is a proud Drake undergrad, and she\u2019s bringing the Drake Blue, Gray and White with her to GiGi\u2019s! But she\u2019s not the only Bulldog that\u2019s coming, as evidenced by the crew of softball teammates (and member of the Drake Men\u2019s Basketball team!) that she brought to Fantastic Friends this past week \u2013 and they all had a blast!

We\u2019re looking forward to having Tatum with us for the next three months to assist with our Fall tutoring program, Community Outreach and other fantastic GiGi\u2019s programs like Fantastic Friends. And we\u2019re delighted to meet more of her Bulldog Sisters and Brothers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this photo taken from this past Friday’s edition of Fantastic Friends, are: Cassidy, Tatum, Patrick, Lucy, Joel, Jayme, Natalee, Max and Isiah.<\/p>\n\n\n
