GiGi’s Playhouse NYC In the News!

We are so grateful for Jessy, who collects donations instead of tips to support GiGi’s Playhouse NYC! She recently spoke to ABC News about her son Brandon, “Brandon’s Tip Jar,” and goal of providing employment opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome.

Jessy’s son Brandon was born with Down syndrome, and tragically passed away at 2. In his memory, she donates all of the tips from her bakery to GiGi’s Playhouse NYC to give kids like Brandon the chance to redefine and achieve their potential.

Thank you Jessy’s Pastries – Empanadas & Sweets and thank you Brandon for inspiring us!

You can read the full article, check out the Jessy’s Pastries Facebook page, and donate to Brandon’s Virtual Tip Jar here.
