As Seen On:
I am the grandfather of Jay. I have seen first-hand how GiGi’s Playhouse has treated my grandson and all children that pass through their doors, with love, affection, caring, understanding, and teaching with early intervention to help promote better lives for these children future’s.
It is incredible how they’ve done this on pure donations only and never asked or pressured anybody for money that attends their classes.
I put this organization in the same class as the Shriners Hospital and St Jude’s. I am so grateful that my daughter found GiGi’s Playhouse and as a business owner I have and will continue to work towards helping this organization to the best of my ability I urge other people to do the same
