Children's Dream Fund makes dreams come true for children (3-21) who have been diagnosed with a life-threating illness

About us

Founded in 1981 with one mission: to make dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses. Celebrating over 40 years of granted dreams, the Children's Dream Fund is one of the oldest and busiest wish-granting organizations in the country. The Dream Fund makes dreams-come-true for children ages 3-21 who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and have been referred to us by physicians, hospitals, social workers, families, and friends. Dreams are as varied as the children we serve, but each one creates lasting memories for children whose most recent experiences evoke memories of painful treatments, surgeries, and often isolation from their friends and family as they recover. Operating out of headquarters in St. Petersburg, in the past 40 years, we have made over 3,500 dreams come true! We are proud to say that we have never denied a deserving child their dream-come-true.

  • The 1st Annual Flamingo Float was a huge success! 🦩✨ A massive shoutout to BCH Mechanical, LLC , Caddy's on the Beach , and JARRETT-SCOTT FORD, INC. , the city of Tampa, and all our incredible sponsors for making this event possible. And to everyone who adopted flamingos (or entire flocks!), you helped us make DREAMS come true for so many deserving kids! Congratulations to Mary, the winner of the 2024 Ford Bronco! Her lucky flamingo crossed the finish line first, proving it's the fastest bird in town. 🦩 From the laughs on the river to the cheers at the finish line, we couldn't have done it without our amazing community. THANK YOU for helping us make dreams come true, one flamingo at a time! ☀️ Stay tuned for more fun, and we'll see you next year! #flamingofloat #dreamscometrue

  • 11-year-old Joey, battling neuroblastoma for a second time, got to live his dream of becoming a pilot thanks to ExecuJet Aviation Group ! ✈️ 🧑✈️ From donning a pilot’s uniform and assisting with pre-flight checks to signing a 1-day contract and flying the plane, Joey’s full-day pilot experience was incredible! He even got to control the plane and enjoy a flight to Ocala with his family. What an amazing dream-come-true for this aspiring pilot! ☀️ Check out the full video on our YouTube page. Huge thanks to Bluhouse Socials for capturing this special day for Joey and his family 📸 Learn more about Joey’s dream: https://lnkd.in/etdagfXs

  • 9-year-old Gavin, currently battling Common Variable Immunodeficiency, is a future engineer in the making! A huge fan of CrunchLabs Build Boxes, Gavin loves building games, toys, and doing experiments. His dream of meeting his hero, Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer at the Crunch Labs in California came true! ⚙️🧑🏻🔬🔬 On his dream, Gavin and his family explored the California Academy of Sciences, Alcatraz, and caught an Oakland vs. Rays game before heading to Crunch Labs. While at Crunch Labs, “Science Bob” gave him a lab tour and did cool experiments with Gavin. Then the BIG moment: Mark Rober surprised Gavin, took photos, signed swag, and even showed him an exclusive secret project! Gavin’s passion for science and endless curiosity are truly inspiring. Keep reaching for the stars, Gavin! ✨ Thank you to the Bangs Family Foundation for helping make Gavin’s dream a reality 💛

  • Wishing Our Community Sunshine and Strength ☀️ Our hearts are with everyone in our community as we begin to recover and rebuild after Hurricane Helene. In times like these, it's the strength and resilience of our neighbors that shines the brightest. At the Children's Dream Fund, we believe that even after the storm, dreams can still soar. We’re sending sunshine, hope, and warm thoughts your way as we all look forward to brighter days ahead. Together, we’ll continue to make dreams come true for the children who need them most. 💛✨ #CommunityStrong #BrighterDaysAhead #DreamsAndHope This picture was created by Dream Child Joey a few years ago, and we believe it perfectly embodies the sentiment we share with you all.
