Because at GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse, our participants, families, and volunteers always have a ball when they&#8217;re here! We also believe every person deserves to be treated like royalty-and this year&#8217;s gala celebrated exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>The evening was entertaining, inspiring, and a huge success! As our largest fundraiser of the year, the Have a Ball Gala helps sustain and expand our free, purposeful programs for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Thanks to your generosity and the many volunteers who made the night possible, we raised just over $98,000 for our Playhouse!<\/p>\n<strong>Want to relive the magic?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2728 Check out the recap blog below for highlights about our speakers, special performances, awards, sponsors, and more including a link to event photos!\n<p>A heartfelt thank-you to all our community members, donors, volunteers, and families who attended or supported this incredible evening.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned &#8211; our 2026 GiGi&#8217;s Gala date will be announced soon!<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/quadcities\/gigis-blog\/we-had-a-ball-2025-gala\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecap Blog\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/quadcities\/files\/2025\/10\/Gala-Sponsors.jpg\" alt=\"Gala Sponsors\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" title=\"Gala Sponsors\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 18, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Join us for an inspiring and joyful evening as we celebrate the incredible impact of GiGi\u2019s Playhouse.
