Celebrating and Remembering 10 years – Part 3 with Natalie Bates

This is part 3 in our 5 part series of traveling down memory lane with the panel of speakers from the recent gala where we celebrated 10 years here in the Quad Cities.

The 3rd speaker for the evening was Natalie Bates. Natalie has been involved with GiGi’s since the beginning, has served as a board member, and for the past 5 years has been the co-chair for the annual Superhero Run/Walk.

Natalie was unable to attend the gala so she prepared a video to be shared with attendees that night.

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to hear from Natalie about the impact GiGi’s has had on her family and how her son Gavin has “knocked her socks off”!
