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!
