Dream Foundation’s Magical Moments

This fall, in place of our usual fundraising event, you are invited to be part of Magical Moments and give life to the final Dreams of terminally-ill adults across the nation!

You can help make Dreams come true by making a gift today, by buying Magical Moments swag and by bidding on items in the Magical Moments auction.

You can also watch an advanced private screening of award-winning director Peter Sasowsky’s documentary, Language of Dreams, that will take place right here.

Be part of the magic!
Whether you want to make a gift, buy Magical Moments swag, bid on an auction item or register to watch Language of Dreams, you’re in the right place. Everything is happening right here.

The inspiration
Magical Moments was inspired by artist Donald Robertson’s painting, Magical Thinking. You’ll see echoes of the painting’s theme of drawing back a curtain to reveal a world of vibrant color throughout Magical Moments. We are deeply grateful for his permission to use Magical Thinking as a creative asset.

Give

Make a Gift Today

When you make a gift, you’re helping make Dreams come true for people like Loretta. Loretta, or ‘Lori’, served in the U.S. Navy for over 20 years, rising to the rank of Commander and Intelligence Officer. Along with caring for her own daughter, Lori adopted her niece following the death of her sister and brother-in-law, and then went on to adopt five more children with special needs from Ethiopia and China.

Lori dreamed of a bed big enough to allow her daughters to snuggle up with her, saying, “As I get sicker, I’ll be spending more time in bed. My daughters sometimes like to come and “cuddle-up” with me at night which I love and want to continue.”

Please make a gift today and help make Dreams like Lori’s come true. Although an entire Dream costs an average of $2,300, every gift becomes part of the magic of a Dream coming true.

$1,000 will provide lasting memories with an Amtrak family reunion vacation package for three days, a catered meal for a family bedside reunion, or a beach cabin rental for four days.

$500 will keep Dream recipients connected with their loved ones with a laptop or tablet.      

$150 will provide comfort with new bed linens, a one-night hotel stay, a gas card for a family reunion final farewell, new clothes or personal items.

$75 will provide a family reunion pizza lunch for four.

You can send a check to Dream Foundation, 1528 Chapala St # 304, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, or make a gift below.

Thank you for being part of the magic!

Watch

The Private Screening is over, but you can still be involved.

Language of Dreams

Language of Dreams explores the lasting impact of Dreams on everyone they touch.

It features many voices, including those of Dream Foundation Ambassadors Priscilla Presley and actor Rob Lowe and Broadway star Teal Wicks, along with heartfelt personal accounts from the families of Dream recipients and people who help make Dreams come true. This is a film about fulfilling the final Dreams of terminally-ill adults, but it’s also a celebration of life itself, what it means to be human and the redeeming power of supporting each other through difficult times.

The screening also features further special messages from Priscilla Presley and Rob Lowe and Dream Foundation Honorary Medical Chair, Dr. BJ Miller.

If you missed the special advanced screening or want to watch it a second time, you can subscribe to receive future viewing opportunities. Thank you for your support!
