Today, we’re celebrating someone truly special... our incredible Executive Director, Lori Fascilla!

Lori has dedicated more than 35 years to serving local children and families through Giraffe Laugh. From the very beginning, she has helped shape a place where children are nurtured, families are supported, and every child is given the opportunity to thrive.

Her heart for this community, her unwavering belief in early childhood education, and her ability to meet families where they are have impacted generations of children across the Treasure Valley. Because of Lori’s leadership, compassion, and dedication, thousands of little ones have been equipped with the care, support, and foundation they need for a stronger future.

Thank you, Lori, for the love you pour into this mission every single day. Our community is stronger because of you. 💛
