Dream Academy News | 2010 Power of a Dream Gala

Wednesday April 7, 2010

Every year 500 business leaders, politicians, celebrities, advocates and individual supporters of the U.S. Dream Academy gather in Washington, DC for one of Washington’s premier events. 

The Power of a Dream Gala is a signature fundraising event in Washington, DC to support the work at our Dream Academy Learning Centers.  Over the last decade the U.S. Dream Academy has been widely regarded as one of the most well-established and respected academic and mentoring organizations for children of incarcerated parents and children falling behind in school. 

Join us as we celebrate the stars that make a difference in the lives of so many children and youth across the country. We will once again feature a VIP reception, fine dining, awards presentation and fabulous musical entertainment.
