The first project is our application period. We are actively looking for children to receive dreams. We grant dreams to children and youth who are terminally or chronically ill, injured or low income in Larimer County. Do you know any kids between the ages of 2 and 18 who fit those requirements? If so, don't delay! The deadline for applications is September 15, 2011. Applications can be found at our website: www.achildsdreamfulfilled.org. If you have any questions, please contact Gregg Seebohm at gregg@dblegl.com. A great big thank you to our Dream Team who has been working very hard to make sure people know that we're looking for kids!
The second project is our wine tasting. We are in the process of finalizing the invitations to this great event. Last year we raised $15,000, and this year we're hoping to raise $20,000. Our event committee is working very hard to pull together the details, and we really appreciate their help. This year the event is set for October 22 at Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $75 per person or $135 per couple. We will be featuring a "Dream Auction" which includes a trip to New Orleans for a jazz and dining experience as well as a trip to Chicago's Wrigley Field Rooftop. Tickets can be purchased by calling the office at (970)667-6119.

Don Brown - a board member with a heart for kids!
Don with Allen at Allen's dream of meeting Taylor Swift
My Dream as a Child was to become a Professional Bull Rider. We grew up on a farm near Hudson, CO. After I told my Dad that at the age of 14 he made us move to the City so I could get some sense in Me! LOL!
My Dream Now is To Grow old With My Wife Anita and our Kids and Touch as many lives along the way by giving back through a Child's Dream and, making Kids Lives better than they were before!
Thanks again for all you do to help make A Child's Dream successful! May your fall be filled with lots of exciting, fun and wonderful things. Maybe even a dream come true!

This month we're highlighting Don Brown, a dedicated board member who has been with the agency since its inception. We are grateful to have his leadership and passion on the board. If you want to catch the fever of granting dreams, be sure to talk to this man! He will light a fire, show what a difference our work does, and make you want to get involved! Here are his answers to our questions:

We love Kids! We raised our two Biological kids(Matt 26 and Jonna 24) and Adopted Kylie out of China when she was 10 months old. She is Now 5! The Kids are our Future and they need to know that people care about them no matter who they are or what their dealing with!
Thanks again for all you do to help make A Child's Dream successful! May your fall be filled with lots of exciting, fun and wonderful things. Maybe even a dream come true!
Sincerely,
Katie Reiff, Executive Director
