'Holiday Sip & Shop' — Raising Money for a Good Cause

An estimated 400 people turned out Tuesday night at Edina's Pinstripes for the second annual fundraiser for GiGi's Playhouse, a Down Syndrome Awareness Center slated to open in St. Louis Park in 2013.

More than 30 local vendors offered everything from food samples to fashion consults during the three-hour event designed to raise awareness of the children with Down Syndrome.

And though the fundraiser may be over, the organization is still accepting donations for the center. More information can be found at the GiGi's Playhouse website or by contacting Pinstripes at 952-835-6440.
