“I love to go to GiGi’s because . . . .”

January 2, 2026

My blog is usually about all the friends I have met on my journey at GiGi’s Playhouse Phoenix. Starting this New Year of 2026, I would like to take a moment in my blog to say GiGi’s Playhouse Phoenix is indeed a WONDERFUL place to go. We can all agree that the programs and opportunities it allows for the participants is AMAZING!

I love going to GiGi’s to hang with my friends! All the volunteers who give so much time and energy to make the programs as great as they are, are so appreciated.

I also love to go to GiGi’s because of my other set of friends, the HARD WORKING and DEDICATED Staff, they give so much EVERY day to make sure the participants days are SPECIAL.  Me (and my mom) would like to recognize and thank the AMAZING staff members who go Above and Beyond ALL the time. Please join us in thanking them…. next time you see them please say Thank You, or Well Done, or give them a High-Five or a Hug, (I know I will).

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO GIGi’s FANTASTIC staff, you all hold a special place in my heart (and everyone else’s) and we are so grateful for you💕💕

With so much appreciation,

Brett Schatzman,

Self-advocate and Mayor

 (and my mom Marlene)!
