Causes: Children & Youth, Foster Care

Mission: Ticket to Dream Foundation is dedicated to creating hope and opportunity for foster children across the nation, so they can just be kids. We believe it starts with joining forces with local communities to ensure they have school supplies, holiday gifts, properly fitting clothing and shoes. We also provide and fund enriching life experiences and vital support services that allow them to heal and grow to reach their full potential.

Results: With the help of our retail partners and communities Ticket to Dream has collected and provided over 4.5 million essential items to foster youth across the country to help ensure foster children have the new clothing, shoes, school supplies, laptops and other essentials they need to thrive. Our program has also funds vital services that provides thousands of foster children with educational support, extracurricular activities, tickets to local events and support services for aged out foster youth. In short we help foster kids just be kids and we thank you for your support!
