Sponsor Spotlight: Allie Hope Photography

The annual fundraising gala is the biggest fundraiser of the year for GiGi’s Playhouse Tinley Park. Each year we gather to celebrate our participants and raise funds to help our Playhouse continue to provide free educational and therapeutic programming for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. For the past 8 years now, someone very special has helped this event come to life with stunning images of our participants: Kelli McCarron of Allie Hope Photography. Kelli is a nurse and a mom who has found her happiness creating beautiful, lasting memories for families through her photography.

Kelli had this to share about her work with GiGi’s Playhouse Tinley Park:

“Over the past eight years, it’s been such a privilege to photograph your events and provide the images for your windows. This work means a lot to me personally. As a mom to a child with special needs, I love being able to capture genuine smiles and personalities in a way that families can treasure. Seeing that joy come through in a photo is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.”

Her work allows us to share the joy of the evening with our entire community and show the incredible impact of what we do. These images help inspire future supporters, celebrate our families and preserve memories for years to come. We can not wait for all of our guests to see the beautiful images Kelli has taken for us this year; we are so grateful!

Please come join us at the 2025 Welcome to Wonderland Gala on October 17th, as we celebrate all of our participants and their families. You will not want to miss it!
