GiGi's Playhouse Launches New Location to Inspire Community Growth
GiGi's Playhouse Sets Its Sights on Portland, Oregon
GiGi's Playhouse, the sole network devoted to Down Syndrome Achievement Centers, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its newest location in Portland. This exciting milestone marks the organization’s 61st Playhouse, proudly bringing its mission of acceptance and empowerment for individuals with Down syndrome to the community.
A Journey of Community Dedication and Support
The journey to establish GiGi's Playhouse in Portland commenced in 2017, thanks to the tireless efforts of over 50 community members dedicated to the cause. The project gained significant traction when Brad Johnston joined as the Start-up Lead in 2022. Brad, along with his wife Niki, is a proud grandfather of nine, including Jack, who has Down syndrome. With four decades of professional experience, Brad helped to rally the community, ultimately raising more than $500,000 to ensure the new Playhouse could open its doors to the public.
Celebrating the Grand Opening
On the grand opening day, Nancy Gianni, the organization’s Founder and Chief Belief Officer, expressed her joy about the launch of the 61st Playhouse. She stated, "I’m thrilled to welcome GiGi's Playhouse Portland. The Portland team has worked incredibly hard, and now, the community is invited to experience our lifelong commitment to free programming that supports individuals and families." Nancy will attend the opening alongside her daughter, GiGi Gianni, who inspired the creation of GiGi's Playhouse. Their presence underscores the significance of this expansion, which began back in 2003 when Nancy sought to change perceptions of Down syndrome after GiGi’s birth.
Providing Lifelong Programs
The new Playhouse in Portland further enhances the commitment of GiGi's Playhouse to offer free therapeutic, educational, and career programs to individuals with Down syndrome and their families. This initiative helps not just to foster individual growth but also to nurture a community that values inclusion and acceptance.
Expanding Horizons: The Impact of GiGi's Free Programming
GiGi's Playhouse has expanded its reach to over 61 locations, including a vibrant virtual community. With each new Playhouse, GiGi's efforts exemplify the entrepreneurial vision that Nancy Gianni has tirelessly championed. The Portland Playhouse reflects this model, as it aims to touch lives and transform how Down syndrome is perceived throughout the community.
