For a gift of $5,000 or more, you will be the sole sponsor of a child’s dream. We will notify you when the dream is about to take place, and when it is completed, you will receive a plaque with a photo of the child which can be shared with your family, your company, or those who helped with your special event. With your permission, you may be recognized as the child’s sponsor in our print and digital media.
