Celebrating a “Best of All” Moment at the Virtual Playhouse
At the Virtual Playhouse, we get to witness so many incredible moments of growth and Haslyn’s journey is one that truly inspires us. “From holding a dance pose just a little longer to nailing a new Taekwondo move or powering through an extra rep in GiGiFIT, she continues to grow stronger, more confident, and incredibly proud of herself. Our favorite “Best of All” moment? When she closes the door before class, turns to us, and proudly declares, “I got this!” says Haslyn’s mom.
“Virtual programs like LaBlast with Robert, Taekwondo, and GiGiFIT have become staples in her weekly routine. They give her a chance to independently connect with “her tribe”—peers and volunteers who motivate and inspire her through activities she truly loves. These are opportunities we wouldn’t otherwise have access to due to time and travel limitations.”
Thanks to the Virtual Playhouse, Haslyn shows up, challenges herself, and celebrates every little win. And we get the joy of cheering her on, every step of the way.
We want to hear your “Best of All” moments too—just like Haslyn’s! Whether it’s one more step, one more word, or one more smile, every milestone matters and deserves to be celebrated. Share your story with us and help inspire others in our incredible Virtual Playhouse community!
