Celebrating 4 Years in Fargo!

Cheers to 4 years in Fargo! Three years in the books of providing free purposeful programs for individuals with Down syndrome and their families! We welcomed new families, celebrated ‘best of all’ moments and continue to create a more kind, accepting and generous community.

Year three is going to be tough to beat! GiGi’s Playhouse Fargo dreamed big going into the second annual ‘i have a Voice’ gala with our fund-a-need planned to jump start on a facility expansion. Fast forward to seven months later Playhouse families watched that dream turn into reality. We re-opened our doors September 22nd, 2019 with 1800 square feet of additional space. We added a GiGiFIT gym, multipurpose room, toddler toilet, another learning lab, teen area and lots of technology. We are overjoyed with the support of The Engelstad Foundation for making this dream into a reality!

Thank you for your ongoing support to help individuals with Down syndrome bring out their ‘Best of All’ each day through our free therapeutic and educational programs!
