Thank You for an Incredible Brew HaHa! 

Wow! Our hearts are bursting with gratitude after an incredible Brew HaHa celebrating Down Syndrome Acceptance Month! Together, we raised nearly $50,000 to support GiGi’s FREE programs for individuals with Down syndrome and other disabilities—what an amazing accomplishment! 

A HUGE shoutout to: 

Jan Serr Studio, a Saz’s venue for the stunning venue and warm hospitality and food that kept us fueled for fun. 

✨ The video put together by Nova Anton from Contractor Click including our inspiring Playhouse families, for sharing their powerful stories.  

✨ The fantastic photos from Erin Weide who captured the night so perfectly!

Mark Baden, Chief Meteorologist from WISN 12, our talented emcee, for your energy and charm. 

Piano Brew – Deuling Pianos for the music and entertainment. 

✨ The announcement that earlier this year, Celonis awarded a Game Changer Grant to IBM, who then matched it and awarded it to GiGi’s Playhouse Milwaukee! Creating a $25,000 opportunity that became a true Game Changer for us, helping us launch our next decade of impact through growth, expanded programs, and community support. 

✨ Our amazing volunteers, sponsors, and auction donors—your support makes everything possible. 

To our families, thank you for sharing your loved ones with us. You are the heart of our mission, and this world shines brighter because of YOU!

Visit GiGi’s Milwaukee

One in every 700 babies is born with Down syndrome, making it a leading cause of developmental delays. Individuals with Down syndrome experience challenges with the development of speech and language and motor skills. GiGi’s Playhouse is a network of Down Syndrome Achievement Centers that offer lifetime support from prenatal diagnosis through adulthood. Because of the generosity of both supporters and a large team of volunteers, all GiGi’s programs are provided FREE of charge to participants. GiGi’s purposeful, individual, and group programs use a holistic approach, targeting all areas of development.

We continue to think creatively about how we can best serve our community both virtually and in-person on a local and national level. Thanks to the ongoing support of our volunteers, community, and playhouse families we can continue make meaningful connections and offer our always free, educational, therapeutic and career development programming.
