Garden of Dreams takes pride in its commitment to truly change lives, hosting more than 500 events and programs each year.
In addition, through its Garden of Dreams Giving program, the Foundation funds important projects such as the refurbishment of gymnasiums and pediatric areas at local hospitals, and the construction of new dance and music studios.
