Go, Maura! 💙⭐️

Mentoring made a huge difference for Maura. From supporting younger students to pursuing a future in medicine, one high school senior turns guidance into purpose.

As we wrap up an incredible Coast-2-Camp season, we wanted to take a moment to spotlight a mentor who went ABOVE and BEYOND!

It’s also her FIRST year as a DREAM mentor!

Briana Ventura-Moreno is a first-year community health student at Tufts University. She stepped up to be the first fundraising chair for DREAM Tufts. Under her leadership, their team raised over $5,000!

“As the first fundraising chair of the Tufts chapter, I am extremely grateful we were able to reach our goal this year and actually raise more money in comparison to previous years. These funds will truly make a difference in these children’s lives upon graduation (no matter how far that might be),” she said.

AMAZING job, Briana! We are so proud of you. Thank you for helping close the opportunity gap for our youth! 💙⭐️

Congratulations to ALL of our teams, what an AMAZING job! And to everyone who donated, shared our fundraiser, participated, and kept our (virtual) buses rolling — YOU made this journey possible ⭐️💙
