GiGi U students prepare for graduation

August 7, 2014

This summer, our GiGi University students have been nothing short of fabulous!  Each day, they give all that they’ve got, with the ultimate goal of developing their confidence, health and “whole self”.

For the past several weeks, GiGi U has focused on challenging this group of remarkable adults to give their “Best of All”.  Now that August has arrived, we turn our focus to a very important day approaching at the end of the month… GiGi University Graduation!  On Thursday, August 28th, each student will take the stage, share how they have grown in GiGi U and move towards their internship at Hugs + Mugs.  This night will be nothing short of inspiring and we invite all of our families and supporters to join us for this special occasion to show their encouragement for our GiGi U grads.

GiGi University graduation will take place on Thursday, August 28th at 7:00pm.  Please join us at the National Achievement Center in Hoffman Estates for the graduation ceremony and reception to follow.  Please RSVP to GiGiUniversity@gigisplayhouse.org.  Thank you for your support!
