Dream On 3

Dream On 3 We make sports dreams come true for kids with life-altering conditions. Dream it. Do it. These youth are the sole purpose for this organization.
(2)

We serve Dreamers, ages 5 to 21, who have chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities, and life-altering conditions. We strive to infuse magic, hope, and joy into their lives by making their sports dream come true. A child with a chronic illness endures a persistent medical condition that is not life-threatening. Some examples of chronic illnesses include diabetes, asthma, cerebral palsy, fibrom

yalgia, HIV/AIDS, etc. A child with a developmental disability endures physical, behavioral, and/or intellectual impairments. This type of disability disrupts daily functions and usually lasts a lifetime. These disabilities are the result of premature births, chromosome/genetic defects, brain injuries or infections, as well as parental behavior and health choices made during pregnancy. These children require lifelong care and special programs which are suited to their health care needs and vitality within the community. A child with a life-threatening condition is one whose life is endangered due to a condition or disease. Many may receive treatment, if possible, to prolong their life. Some examples of life-threatening conditions are heart disease, liver disease, cancer, etc. We want these children to have an unforgettable sports experience that will forever be ingrained in their hearts and minds; an experience that makes them feel like a MVP!

At Dream On 3, dreams become reality because of partners who believe in the power of creating life changing experiences for children facing serious illnesses and life altering conditions.

For years, Lockton Companies has been one of those partners.

Through their annual fundraising efforts, Lockton employees have rallied around our mission with a goal of fully sponsoring a Dream experience. At the end of 2025, they hosted a co****le tournament where Dream Kid Nick joined the fun and learned that his dream of experiencing the Atlanta Braves as a VIP would soon come true.

Last week, as part of Nick's Dream Day, he was treated to a CMPD Police es**rt to the Lockton office, where he was welcomed with incredible enthusiasm, thoughtful gifts, and an outpouring of support from the entire team.

Moments like these remind us that a Dream is about so much more than a single day. It is about community, connection, and showing children and families that they are surrounded by people who care.

To everyone at Lockton, thank you for your continued partnership, generosity, and commitment to making dreams come true. We are grateful to have you as part of the Dream On 3 family. 💙

The morning started with a surprise stop at Tecovas, where Nick picked out a custom hat with his name branded on the back. A little Southern style before a big day at the ballpark.🤠

Then it was off to Yard House for lunch. Good food and Great People!

Next stop: Baseballism, where GM Brad treated Nick like family from the moment he entered the store. A fellow Braves fan, he went above and beyond…loading Nick and his family up with gear and creating an experience they won’t forget.

From there, it was batting practice to watch his heroes take the field.

Batting gloves from Dom Smith. A stack of autographs. Real conversations with players. Constant smiles. And in true Nick fashion, even manager Walt Weiss got pulled into the fun. By the end of it all, Nick said it best…core memories were made and this is a day he will never forget. 💙

Thank you to Nick's Dream Sponsor, Lockton Companies!

After the most special sendoff, Nick kicked off his Braves Dream with a first-pitch moment at the Gwinnett Stripers game, club-level seats, and a first-class welcome from Loews Atlanta. 🤯 From the decorated room and Braves bomber jacket, to his favorite snacks and a room with a view, every detail made him feel celebrated.

The day wrapped up at 5Church Midtown, where the food was amazing but the kindness was even better. The staff went above and beyond to make sure Nick knew this week is all about him.

Most importantly, everyone who met Nick today got to experience what makes him so special. His humor, gratitude, and positive outlook have a way of making every moment better. 🥹

Thank you Gwinnett Stripers, Loews Atlanta Hotel, and 5Church Midtown!

Dreamers supporting Dreamers 🥹

Earlier this year, Keynen lived his Golden State Warriors Dream.

Yesterday, he was able to help surprise his friend, Nick by letting him know that it was now his turn to live out his sports Dream. 🥲

Nick and Keynen became fast friends after meeting at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Rehab. Despite what they’ve been through, these two shine so brightly and we are so proud to have them in the Dream On 3 family. 💙

To our graduating Dream On 3 Collegiate Dream Team Captains…

What a privilege it has been to watch you lead. You didn’t just plan events or raise money…you changed lives. You learned how to lead with empathy, serve with intention, rally people around a mission bigger than yourselves, and create moments that families will never forget.

Because of you, Dreamers felt seen, celebrated, and loved.

We are so proud of the leaders you’ve become and the impact you’ve made on your campuses and beyond. No matter where life takes you next, you will always be a part of the Dream On 3 family. Thank you for pouring your hearts into this mission and leaving a legacy that matters.

We love you all and cannot wait to see what you accomplish next! 💙

⚾️ What a Day Dream at the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Championship! ⚾️

Thanks to the incredible support of Day Dream sponsor JHE Properties and our longtime friends at the ACC, five amazing kids from HopeKids experienced a day they'll never forget.

From meeting players and coaches on the field during warmups to enjoying the game from a suite, receiving ACC swag, and even being recognized live on the big screen by the ACC Network, every moment was packed with excitement.

Georgia Tech may have taken the win over UNC, but the real winners were these incredible kiddos who got to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Today, we join the racing world in mourning the loss of NASCAR legend Kyle Busch. 💔

Kyle was larger than life on the track, but what we’ll remember most is the way he showed up for others off of it.

In 2022, Ben’s Dream centered around one thing: meeting his hero, Kyle Busch. What followed was a dream experience Ben and his family will never forget. Kyle welcomed Ben with kindness, generosity, and genuine care, turning a lifelong admiration into a real connection.

We are incredibly grateful that Ben got to share that special moment with someone who meant so much to him.

Our hearts are with Samantha, Brexton, Lennix, the entire Busch family, and the NASCAR community during this unimaginable time. 🏁
