From Us to You
Each Dream fulfilled is a testament to the power of compassion, love, and the belief that every moment counts in the face of life’s challenges.
As we reflect on the year 2023, our hearts are filled with immense gratitude for your unwavering support and generosity. Thanks to you, the number of Dreams we were able to fulfill continued to rise, and each one of them represents a profound impact on the lives of those facing life’s greatest challenges.
Among the many magical moments that touched our souls throughout the year, Kellirae’s Dream stands out as a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with compassion and determination to help someone facing the end of life.
Born with multiple health challenges, including deafness, Kellirae had been diagnosed with metastatic melanoma when she reached out to us, sharing her long-held Dream of attending the Super Bowl. Time, however, was not on her side.
With the Super Bowl rapidly approaching, we had to act swiftly. Because of you, we were able to make Kellirae’s Dream a reality.
Her experience at the Super Bowl exceeded her wildest expectations, with a special meet and greet with the Eagles Cheerleaders and an opportunity to connect with the incredible Super Bowl deaf performers, Justina Miles, Colin Denny, and Troy Kotsur.
Words cannot fully express our heartfelt gratitude for your involvement in making Dreams like Kellirae’s possible.
Each Dream fulfilled is a testament to the power of compassion, love, and the belief that every moment counts in the face of life’s challenges.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being a part of this incredible journey. Your support makes a profound difference in the lives of those we serve, and we are forever grateful for your kindness and generosity.
With deepest appreciation,
Kisa Heyer

Highlights
The No Gala Gala
In October, Dream Foundation held the No Gala Gala in place of our usual fall event, with 100 percent of the funds raised going directly to granting Dreams. Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, in-kind supporters, and everyone who purchased Opportunity Drawing tickets and bid on the fantastic range of auction items in the online auction, the event was an incredible success!
