Imagine the look on a child’s face as they learn that their wish has been granted – the pure, unbridled excitement and wonder in their eyes. It’s a moment of pure magic, as the child’s dream becomes a reality right before their very eyes.

For children who are facing ongoing medical battles, a wish granted can be a source of incredible strength and motivation. It offers them a glimmer of hope and a reason to keep fighting, despite the challenges they may face. It reminds them that they are not alone in their struggles, and that there are people who care deeply about their well-being.

Organizations dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of children with chronic illnesses work tirelessly to make these moments possible. One such organization that has been making dreams come true for children with chronic illnesses for over three decades is the Dream Factory. Through the dedication of their volunteers and donors, the Dream Factory has helped countless children experience the joy and wonder of having their wishes granted.

To continue their mission of granting wishes, the Dream Factory is now gearing up for their upcoming fundraising event – the 24-Hour Run For Dreams.

We’re super excited for our 10-year anniversary event that will be hosted at Red Orchard Park on August 5-6, 2023. We are planning for a BIG YEAR in 2023!
