Oak Bank Proudly Supports GiGi’s Playhouse Madison “Believe in Our Build” Campaign
Fitchburg, WI – Oak Bank is proud to announce a $5,000 donation to support GiGi’s Playhouse Madison and its “Believe in Our Build” campaign. It’s an exciting community-driven effort to create a new, expanded, and fully inclusive home in Fitchburg, right in the heart of the community Oak Bank serves.
The “Believe in Our Build” campaign is bringing GiGi’s Playhouse Madison to a new location on Botanical Drive in Fitchburg. With the new home, the organization will expand its ability to offer free educational, therapeutic, and career development programs for individuals and families impacted by Down syndrome. The new space will include classrooms, a gym, learning labs, a kitchen, and welcoming gathering spaces designed to foster confidence, independence, and achievement.
“Oak Bank believes strongly in investing in projects close to home that make a lasting difference,” said Terry Taylor, President & CEO of Oak Bank. “GiGi’s Playhouse Madison is building more than a facility — they are building opportunity, inclusion, and belonging for families in Fitchburg and surrounding communities.”
Oak Bank’s support of GiGi’s Playhouse Madison reflects its broader commitment to community-focused initiatives further underscoring the bank’s dedication to enhancing quality of life and care for individuals and families across the region.
“We believe in what GiGi’s Playhouse is building — not just in brick and mortar, but in the lives of individuals and families who will benefit for years to come,” added Bob Gorsuch, Executive Chairman & Founder of Oak Bank. “We’re especially excited to see GiGi’s Playhouse put down roots in Fitchburg — our home, too.”
As a local community bank, Oak Bank remains committed to meaningful partnerships that create long-term positive impact, ensuring that the places where people live, work, and grow continue to thrive.
