GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans x The Bead Shop

At GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans, we are incredibly grateful for the support of local businesses that believe in our mission and help us continue providing free, purposeful programming for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. We are excited to highlight our recent partnership with The Bead Shop!

The Bead Shop is a beloved local creative studio and supply store that specializes in beads, jewelry-making materials, and hands-on crafting experiences for the community. They are known for fostering creativity and offering a welcoming space for artists of all ages and skill levels.

Through this collaboration, our participants selected a variety of beads that were later featured in a Bead Shop pop-up at Tulane University, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans. This partnership allowed us to be part of a creative, community-centered initiative while helping support our mission in a meaningful way.

Partnerships like this are essential to the work we do. By connecting with local businesses, we are able to expand awareness, build relationships, and continue offering all of our programs completely free to the families we serve.

We are so thankful to The Bead Shop for their generosity and for their ongoing commitment to giving back. Their support helps us continue serving more than 300 families in the Greater New Orleans area and strengthens our ability to grow our impact.

At GiGi’s Playhouse, our mission is to change the way the world views Down syndrome and to send a global message of acceptance for all. Community partnerships like this one help bring that mission to life every day!
