25th Annual Dream-Maker Luncheon
From our CEO/Executive Director–Celebrating our 25th Annual Dream-Maker Luncheon
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are thrilled to mark this milestone with you! Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $328,000 at this year’s event, along with adding 5 new Dreamer Scholar Sponsors. That generous support makes a huge impact and allows us to continue to do this work.
As many of you know, our model is simple and impactful: we partner with students—our Dreamer Scholars—and their families throughout their entire academic lives, from first grade through college and/or career entry. Our incredible staff and volunteers support them at every step of their educational journey.
Our holistic approach includes academic assistance, social-emotional learning, social justice education, career planning, and post-secondary exposure.
Centered in a strength-based orientation, we recognize and celebrate the valuable contributions our 500+ students and their families bring to our community!
Our two-generational model also empowers parents and guardians to pursue education and financial success, increasing economic mobility for families.
Community partnerships and volunteers are essential to our work. We’re grateful to educators, school districts, nonprofits, and countless volunteers make it all possible.
We can not do this without your help. I hope you are encouraged and inspired today to support our future leaders in living their dreams!
Perla Delgado, Ph.D.
CEO/Executive Director
