Making Dreams Come True

The Dream Foundation recently celebrated “Fifteen Years of Making Dreams Come True” and it boasts quite a record: 8,852 dreams, 46,800 bouquets of flowers, 31,374 toys for children and 1,081 active volunteers.

A sold-out crowd of 540 converged on Bacara Resort & Spa for the 8th annual gala. Until last year, the event was a ladies’ luncheon and fashion show. Now it’s a black-tie evening that the gentlemen seem to enjoy.

Dream Foundation benefit draws local stars

Dream Foundation rolled out the red carpet to host the 8th annual Celebration of Dreams, by fusing the world of fashion and entertainment into one unforgettable evening at the beautiful Bacara Resort and Spa. A packed ballroom of celebrities and glittering fashionistas alike came together to celebrate Dream Foundation’s major event to help raise awareness and funding for adults suffering from life-threatening illnesses.
