Believe In A Dream

This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who gave their lives in service of this country.

The future they fought for is the one we get to build today. Our work—investing in young people through leadership, the arts, and entrepreneurship—is part of how we honor what they gave.

To them, and to the families they left behind—thank you.

🎻 8 days.

Spring String Jams returns to the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory on May 28—an evening with our middle and high school string musicians.

For the students playing this concert, this isn't just another performance. It's a chance to show their families and friends what young string players sound like when they get to choose the music.

This is what happens when young musicians are given room to play the music that lives in their heads.

🎻 Hundreds of student musicians. One unforgettable night. And now—Fort Wayne is talking about it.

The String Dreams Concert made the news on WANE, and we couldn't be more proud. This is what it looks like when young people step onto a stage and show the community what they're capable of. Not just music—confidence, discipline, and a belief in themselves that carries far beyond the concert hall.

Read the full story and share it with someone who needs to see what youth development looks like in action.

👉 https://biad.us/waneSD

Every program like String Dreams Concert runs because of the people who believe in these students.

Believe in a Dream said the String Dreams Concert is part of a broader effort to support youth through music, leadership and entrepreneurship programs.

🎻 This Sunday.

The String Dreams Concert is days away. May 17, 4 PM, Wayne High School — and this year, the show takes place on Wayne's newly renovated stage, hosting hundreds of orchestra students from across Fort Wayne.

If you've been waiting to grab tickets, this is the moment. The room won't fill itself with people who meant to come.

See you Sunday → https://biad.us/sdc

🎻 5 days.

The String Dreams Concert is almost here. On Sunday, May 17, hundreds of orchestra students from across Fort Wayne will take the stage together at Wayne High School—a performance that only happens once a year.

For some it's their first big stage. For others, it's their last before graduation. Either way, what you're hearing is months of practice, late afternoons in school music rooms, and students from different schools learning to play as one.

This is what happens when a community decides music matters. And there are 5 days left to be in the room when it does.

Proceeds go back to the schools to support their orchestra programs.

🎻 May 11–15 is Monthly Giving Awareness Week—and we wanted to share why it matters to us.

Recurring giving lets us spend less time chasing the next campaign and more time doing what we exist to do: building leadership, arts, and entrepreneurship programs that shape who our students become.

When you give monthly, you give us something steady. Something we can plan around. Something that makes the next year of programming possible—for students who are already counting on it.

Even a small recurring gift goes a long way.
