Last month, GiGi’s Playhouse hosted its National Gala, which is our biggest fundraising event of the year.

As a marketing intern, I had multiple roles for the Gala:

ROLE 1: Interviewing Guests

I asked guests multiple questions at the Gala.I talked to them while filming and asked why they support GiGi’s Playhouse.

ROLE 2: Gave a Speech

When I got onto the stage, I hyped up all my friends and other guests. They loved it. I said “I’m back” and I saved the best for last, introducing Amanda Booth and GiGi Gianni.

The funds raised from the gala help us grow with new programs and new events for all of GiGi’s Playhouse. The money we raised will help us reach more families. We had fun dancing to 7th Heaven with all my friends. It was amazing fun.

I hope to see you at the next Gala in 2026!
