Believe in Dreams to Host First-Ever Dreamer Alumni Prom in Cleveland

Believe in Dreams, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fulfilling dreams for economically disadvantaged youth, will host its first Dreamer Alumni Prom on February 15, 2025. The Winter Wonderland Prom represents a unique opportunity for past program participants to reconnect, celebrate their resilience, and create lasting memories.

The event, taking place at Lake Affect Studio in Cleveland, offers a vibrant and inclusive environment for Dreamer Alumni and their families. For a modest ticket price of $10 per family, attendees will enjoy a comprehensive evening of entertainment and community connection. The event promises a range of experiences, including a DJ, music, photo opportunities, interactive games, and door prizes.

Since its establishment in 2014, Believe in Dreams has been transforming the lives of local youth by providing personalized dream experiences. The organization has already fulfilled over 785 dreams, demonstrating significant progress toward its strategic goal of reaching 1,000 dream experiences by 2028. By focusing on youth who have faced economic challenges and experienced non-medical trauma, the organization creates pathways for hope, empowerment, and community engagement.

The Dreamer Alumni Prom reflects the organization's holistic approach to supporting young individuals. By creating a supportive environment that celebrates past participants' journeys, Believe in Dreams reinforces its commitment to long-term youth development and community building.

Youth are initially nominated for dream experiences by community professionals such as teachers, counselors, coaches, and social workers who recognize their resilient spirit. This collaborative approach ensures that the most deserving young individuals receive opportunities for personal growth and celebration.

The Winter Wonderland Prom represents more than just a social event; it symbolizes the ongoing support and recognition of young people who have demonstrated remarkable strength in overcoming challenging circumstances. By bringing these individuals together, Believe in Dreams continues to foster a sense of community, hope, and possibility for Northeast Ohio's youth.
