A Decade in the Making:
Celebrating 10 Years of Possibility

We’re proud to announce the GiGi’s Playhouse Fort Wayne Gala, taking place on Friday, April 10, at the Parkview Mirro Center.  This year’s Gala marks an important milestone: ten years of growth, impact, and possibility, made possible by a community that believes in inclusion, opportunity, and the potential of every individual.

The evening will celebrate how far we’ve come while looking ahead to what’s next. Funds raised at the Gala directly support the free, purposeful programs and services GiGi’s Playhouse Fort Wayne provides to individuals with Down syndrome and their families, today and for a lifetime.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor of this meaningful event. Sponsorship is more than visibility. It is an investment in programs that build confidence, independence, and real-world skills. Your support helps ensure the Playhouse continues to grow sustainably and serves families across northeast Indiana.

Sponsors receive thoughtful recognition opportunities designed to align your brand with a mission rooted in inclusion, empowerment, and measurable community impact.

With your partnership, this year’s Gala will not only celebrate a decade of progress. It will help shape the next one.
