Tax deductible tickets can be purchased online now at http://dreamfoundation.org/summerdream for $50. Each ticket includes wine and beer from Potek Winery and Third Window Brewing, delicious bites from Wildwood Kitchen, a runway fashion show, DJ IDEX entertainment, silent auction and more.
“Almost 20 percent of our Dreamers are between the ages of 18-40,” says Dream Foundation’s CEO Kisa Heyer. “Their final Dreams include vacations, family reunions, meetings with personal heroes or requests for basic needs that improve their quality of life. Summer Dream is a wonderful and fun opportunity for the community to support our young Dreamers.”
The event is made possible through the generous support and dedication of this year’s Event Chair Arlene Montesano, Honorary Committee Chair Danielle Rocha of Rocha Swim (2015 Summer Dream featured designer) and the Generation Dream Committee: Heather Hambleton (chair), Jacques Habra, Dawn Mitcham, Chris Snowden and Sanford Spivey.
