Running For Dreams

Earlier this week, we had the joy of surprising Brooke Hocke-Hendry with a grant to support her cheerleading dreams! Her older sister, Brynna, is also a previous grant recipient, and we couldn’t be more excited to see both sisters continue pursuing their passion for cheer.

This is what Running for Dreams is all about! We are so grateful to everyone who continues to support our mission and make these special moments possible. Thank you for helping us turn dreams into reality! ✨

Because of the incredible support of our community, we’re able to help make dreams like Colton’s a reality, from pursuing D1 training to chasing goals that once felt out of reach.

This is what Running For Dreams is all about. Giving children the opportunity to dream big and supporting them every step of the way.
