Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
To make dreams come true for children with chronic illness, development disabilities, or life-altering conditions by creating experiences of joy and magic through the world of sports.
-
The Dream Experience - Program serves individuals living with chronic illnesses, intellectual or developmental disabilities or life-altering conditions. Recipients between the ages of 5 and 21 receive a fully customized, VIP experience built around their interests and their ultimate sports dream. Dream On 3 unites the healthcare, business, and sports communities to create these over-the-top experiences. To date we have served over 240 Dream Recipients and their families.
Expenses $1,372,268 · Revenue $659,733
-
Collegiate Dream Teams - Groups of student leaders that are passionate about helping others in their community work alongside Dream On 3 to plan, market, fundraise, and ultimately fulfill the Dream Experience of an individual living with a life-altering medical condition. Teams consist of 15-20 students from each college. CDT members gain a wealth of real-world career and hands-on experience such as leadership development, team building, and community engagement all while helping someone in their community. The program develops work-related skills such as marketing, branding, public relations, social media, fundraising, donor relations, non-profit management, event planning, and more. We have worked with hundreds of students that have served on 47 CDT teams across various college campuses.
Expenses $438,270 · Revenue $232,051

Jr. Dream Team - The Jr. Dream Team program helps student leaders plan, fundraise, and rally the school to support a fellow classmate living with a life-altering condition. Students work with faculty members and Dream On 3 staff to rally the entire high school in support of their Dream Recipient. Dream On 3 has found that when entire school and supporting community unite in the spirit of inclusion, the result is life-changing. We have worked with hundreds of students on 30 Jr Dream Teams across various high schools.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
