SMILE 4 Special Needs: Back to School Bash at GiGi’s Playhouse Sugar Land on August 16, 2025

For the second year in a row, we were excited to support the Back to School Bash at GiGi’s Playhouse Sugar Land, a Down Syndrome Achievement Center dedicated to empowering individuals and families. Over the past year, we’ve built a growing partnership with GiGi’s through bucket drumming lessons and volunteer support at various events.

This time, our team brought extra fun to the celebration with cotton candy and balloon twisting. Kids eagerly lined up to join the activities, filling the event with laughter, energy, and smiles as families came together to kick off the new school year.
