First tournament in the books for DREAAM Elite Basketball!

On Saturday, November 7, all four of our teams, one for each grade from fifth through eighth, traveled to Romeoville for the Veterans Day Shootout. We’re proud of every player who represented DREAAM. A special shoutout goes to our fifth graders for winning all three of their games! 🙌🏽

We love that weekends like this give our young men a chance to travel somewhere new, compete together, and practice skills they’ll carry beyond the court. They’re learning to communicate under pressure, bounce back after a tough play, and encourage their teammates along the way.

Way to go, DREAAMers! 🖤⭐️🖤

A young person’s confidence grows when someone takes the time to teach them, listen to them, and believe in what they can do.

That’s at the heart of DREAAM’s Chop It Up group, where high school boys learn culinary skills alongside mentors who invest in their lives. Preparing a meal together creates room for conversation and the pride of saying, “I made that.”

At DREAAM, we believe in these young men and the futures they are building. Through mentorship, we put that belief into action - one conversation and shared meal at a time!

DREAAM’s HOPE staff and five young men from our HOPE community were honored to attend the 3rd Annual Sons and Daughters in Heaven Gala on Sunday. Together, we joined families and community members to remember loved ones lost to gun violence and support those carrying the weight of that loss.

Thank you to A Cry for You for bringing our community together for an evening of remembrance, connection, and hope. We are grateful to stand alongside others working toward a future where our young people can live, grow, and thrive. 💜
