The Kansas City Chapter made a child’s dream come true when 12-year-old Tucker got VIP tickets and a meet-and-greet with his favorite wrestler Randy Orton in March 2013. Tucker had a hat signed by Orton and was able to take several pictures with the wrestling star. This was one of several celebrity dreams we fulfill for our children each year.

The Oregon Chapter is our farthest out west and has completed a few dreams so far this year. Back in 2010, Oregon granted a dream for Kiera, a dancer without arms and legs. Like they did for Kiera, our Oregon volunteers continue to make dreams come true.
Our San Antonio Chapter was able to make a very special dream come true earlier this year when volunteers rushed through a dream for D’Andre to meet John Cena at the WWE Royal Rumble. D’Andre finished his battle with cancer on March 17 but not before he touched the lives of so many people, including those at The Dream Factory.
The Central Missouri Chapter profited more than $100,000 from its 5th Annual Dream Factory Poker Tournament in April. It is one of our more successful fundraisers! Central Missouri grants dreams to seven mid-Missouri counties surrounding the city of Columbia, granting dreams to more than 500 children since their inception 27 years ago.
Saint Louis is one of our largest chapters and is currently working on numerous dreams. Jack visited Detroit in April, attending a Red Wings practice and game on back-to-back days. Saint Louis was excited to make Jack’s dream come true!
