2022
We celebrated the 10th anniversary of the foundation! 2022 turned out to be a great year in many aspects and your support remained steadfast. Words cannot express how grateful we are as an organization for your kindness and generosity.
With your support we raised $82K this year. Our organization is 100% volunteer based so the operating expenses remain very low.
We have expanded our outreach to new hospitals, clinics and individual schools by educating them about the benefits of the program. These efforts have allowed us to support even more children this year.
We expanded our reach to Valley Children’s Place in Madera, CA. We are glad to announce that this is the first hospital in central valley.
After two years of virtual runs, we were in back in person for our 10th anniversary Dream Run. You amazed us by supporting the cause, we had the largest showing to date with over 1000 people attending. You turned this year’s run into a huge success. Yay!
We have been blessed with tremendous sponsors. They are always eager to help us and with their support we have been able to keep our expenses under control. Please support our amazing sponsors!
We are thankful to our volunteers who worked tirelessly for many months to make everything possible.
