CHARLOTTE — St. Matthew Church recently made a $20,000 donation to support the opening of GiGi’s Playhouse in Charlotte.
Through the L.A.M.B. Foundation of North Carolina, the parish’s Knights of Columbus also donated another $5,000.
GiGi’s Playhouse is an international enterprise whose mission is to support individuals with Down Syndrome and their families with therapeutic-based programs that provide motor, developmental, fitness, speech and language, literacy, math and life skills to clients through a playhouse model.
There are currently 40 locations, with the Charlotte location set to open in April.
St. Matthew Church is the sponsor for the facility’s kitchen and the two learning labs.
