DreamCatchers Foundation

Student chapters work with local hospices in their communities to fulfill the Dreams of their patients, in the form of a memorable experience or event to celebrate that person and their life. For example, a Dream may be a sailboat ride, for a man who loved the ocean and spent years of his life on boats and submarines. Or, a Dream may come in the form of a family reunion celebration, for a patient ("Dreamer") who rarely gets to see their family anymore and wants to spend some quality time together.

Other past Dreams we’ve fulfilled include:

• Trip to a ballgame (baseball/football/hockey/baske tball)

• Birthday party
• Car show
• Boat/plane/helicopter ride
• Trip to local attraction (i.e. Botanical Gardens in Phoenix or Washington Monument in DC)
• Dancing- bring in a local artist/band, dancers (especially popular in nursing home/assisted living environments)
• Gourmet dinner
• Beauty- makeover, hair/nails, spa day
• Horseshoes/bingo game day

We operate 45 chapters in 17 states and have enlisted over 500 volunteers to help us fulfill our mission.

We partner with a network of 250 hospice providers and have actualized hundreds of Dreams for hospice patients.
