GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse Fort Wayne was represented by Cindy and Doug Atkinson, who were on hand to receive the award.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Mike was elected Governor, I was overwhelmed with requests from so many worthy organizations to get involved in their efforts. However, it quickly became clear that I couldn&#8217;t be at every event nor could I champion every cause. That is why I, along with a team of dedicated board members, started the Indiana First Lady&#8217;s Charitable Foundation as a way to shine a light on the organizations across Indiana who lift up our communities and make our state strong,&#8221; First Lady Karen Pence stated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse Fort Wayne is one of those organizations that is doing great work for our Hoosier children and families, and it is an honor to recognize them today,&#8221; said First Lady Karen Pence.<\/p>\n<p>First Lady Karen Pence started the Indiana First Lady&#8217;s Charitable Foundation in August of 2013 as a way to recognize organizations and charities across the state. At the inaugural First Lady&#8217;s Luncheon held in April 2014, the Foundation awarded its first major grant of $100,000 to the Art Therapy Program at Riley Hospital for Children. This year&#8217;s luncheon recipient was Feeding Indiana&#8217;s Hungry with a grant of $65,000, which supports food banks and food pantries in all 92 counties. Throughout the year, the Foundation will award smaller grants to organizations across the state. The third annual First Lady&#8217;s Luncheon will be held March 8, 2016.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whether helping a child develop a love for reading or supporting families in need or encouraging a child to go further in the arts, these organizations are the backbone and the heart of our communities. They represent the very best of what it means to be a Hoosier, and we thank them for their service,&#8221; said First Lady Karen Pence.<br \/>\nThe mission of GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse is to increase positive awareness of Down syndrome through national campaigns, educational programs, and by empowering individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are honored to have been chosen for the award from the First Lady&#8217;s Foundation. It will be so helpful in supporting our free programs and providing educational supplies,&#8221; says Doug Atkinson, President of GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse Fort Wayne, LLC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/assorted-photos\/112277.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Indianapolis Star building.
