Reach For A Dream fulfils the dreams of children with life threatening illnesses.
About us
For over 36 years, Reach for a Dream Foundation has been dedicated to alleviating the strain that life-threatening illnesses placed on sick children and their families by providing dreamers with the opportunity to believe in their greatest wish. Our mission is to encourage children to use their dreams to fight life-threatening illnesses and inspire hope. We bring joy and laughter to their difficult situation and help them believe that tomorrow is worth fighting for. These children are between the ages of 3 to 18 years. They have used their dream to fight illnesses such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, kidney failure, blood disorders and heart conditions.
