Dream on 3 is a nonprofit organization that makes sports-themed dreams come true for kids and young adults with both life-altering medical conditions. The Rocky Mountain Chapter has made recent dreams come true with Simone Biles, the Denver Nuggets, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Colorado Avalanche and has a goal of making even more life-changing dreams a reality. Those stories and more were highlighted during the evening as attendees were moved to laughs, tears and plenty of joy for an organization which has both already impacted so many across the country and yet still is growing with the hopes of reaching so many more kids.
The night was emceed by Taylor Kilgore of Fox 31 and attendees included a night full of wonderful food and hospitality at the Ritz Carlton, autograph opportunities with the kids, both a silent and live auction, dancing and a joyous night of coming together as a community to impact lives for the better. Among the highlights of the night:
- Shane, who stirred the audience throughout the night into laughter, tears and dancing by sharing he and his brother’s story and obstacles overcome. Shane’s Dream Experience included a day at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium and a first-class experience with the Denver Nuggets.
- Dorian, who lives with a rare form of Leukodystrophy (a genetic disorder that affects the brain), who went on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Tampa where he not only met his idol Tom Brady but also spent time with a number of Buccaneers players as well as his first trip to the beach, an incredible surprise send off at his school, and countless memories made!
- The emotional story of Peyton, a teenage girl diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, who’s inspiring will to win combined with her Dream Experience to the University of Georgia embodies everything Dream on 3 is about. View Peyton’s story here (and shown below)
- Lucy, whose Dream Experience included a day with U.S. Gold Medalist Gymnast Simone Biles.
- Justice and her Dream Experience included a day with the Colorado Rapids and her favorite player Michael Barrios. Justice says she still keeps in touch with the soccer star and their day included having her favorite meal, Chicken and Waffles, together on the field.
- A surprise video appearance from Tim Tebow to make the next Colorado dream come true while a total of over $114,000 was raised.
Though these dream experiences may last a day or a weekend, the life-changing hope and encouragement that they bring last for a lifetime. The experiences of joy and hope are upheld by the organizations five core values including servanthood, being mission-focused, acting as a waymaker, inspiration and stewardship.
