"Such an amazing way to start all of our days! Never forget the change we are all making."
-Desirae from Wausau
"I loved Ask the Foundation Panel! Super Helpful!
-Mandy from Fort Wayne
"My favorite part was learning about all of the different approaches each Playhouse takes to be successful in their communities."

"Being a new staff member, Wednesday was my favorite. It was so eye-opening to see that I'm not alone and everyone else feels the same way I do (especially through COVID).... it really helped to connect with everyone and put faces to names."
-Jodie from McHenry
"One of my favorite memories of conference was learning about where GiGi's was and where we are headed in the near future. It is very exhilarating for the participants, families, volunteers, staff, and supporters! Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen!"
