In October we were connected with Kimblewick<\/a> in Westfield! Their Lifestyle Director, Claire, has a few direct connections to Down syndrome which leveraged her desire to support GiGi\u2019s Indy during Down Syndrome Awareness Month! We were THRILLED to partner with Kimblewick to spread acceptance for those with Down syndrome to a community that we typically would not see in the Playhouse. Thank you, Claire and Kimblewick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI first learned of GiGi\u2019s many years ago as my godson, Theo has Down syndrome. He actually hosted one of his birthday parties at the Playhouse! In 2019 my niece, Genevieve (whom we call Gigi!) was born with Down syndrome. I have a special place in my heart for the community and want to serve in any way I am able.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each month our community selects a nonprofit of the month to support. October was the perfect month to support GiGi\u2019s as it is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. I worked with the GiGi\u2019s staff, and they compiled a list of items needed for the Playhouse. My homeowners donated items all month long and their generosity shined through! <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, we hosted our first Chili Cook-Off and half our proceeds — $200 — from the event were donated to GiGi\u2019s!\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
