We are in the process of starting up a local chapter in the Charleston, South Carolina area of The Dream Factory.

The Dream Factory is a national volunteer-based wish-granting organization for critically and chronically ill children ages 3 through 18 years.

Each chapter operates without a paid staff. They use volunteers who raise funds in their communities to grant dreams to local children.

Nationally, The Dream Factory has granted more than 25,000 dreams in its 34-year history. It is the second largest wish granting foundation in the United States.

Examples of dreams granted to children include trips to Disney World, puppies and ponies, visits to favorite celebrities and sports stars and shopping sprees!

Right now we are in the process of setting up the local Board of Directors for The Dream Factory in Charleston. We need a treasurer, a secretary, an event planner chair, a fundraising chair, etc. The only "commitment" is to attend a monthly board meeting that we promise to be short and held at a time that is convenient for the majority of volunteers.

Once established we will need many, many volunteers in the Charleston area to visit children and their families in hospitals and in their homes, procure and deliver dream items, schedule dream trips, arrange special celebrations and conduct fundraising events for the local Charleston chapter!

We would appreciate it very much if you would please consider volunteering your time and talents to such a worthwhile cause. These very sick children and teenagers struggle on a daily basis and they need some much deserved "joy" added to their lives.

We can guarantee that getting involved with the new local Charleston chapter of The Dream Factory will add so much happiness to many sick kids lives - and it will also add happiness to your own life - a win-win for everyone.

Thank you.

Mission Statement

"We grant dreams to critically and chronically ill children from the ages of three through eighteen."

Description

We are starting up a local chapter in the Charleston, South Carolina area of The Dream Factory. At the present time we are in need of volunteers for the Board of Directors. The only "commitment" would be to attend a monthly meeting, (we promise to keep the meetings short and at a time that is convenient for the majority).

We need:

*TREASURER: We need someone who will take care of the financial aspect of the local chapter (there is a computer program that makes it very easy - but a financial background would be helpful)

*SECRETARY: We need someone to take notes at the monthly meetings to then be sent to The Dream Factory National headquarters.

*EVENT PLANNER: If you have a background in event planning it would be helpful. We want to plan "fun and entertaining" fundraising events for various ages in the Charleston area.

*FUNDRAISING: If you have a background in fundraising we could use your expertise on how to raise money to fund the dreams.

*MEDICAL: If you are in the medical field and would like to volunteer your time we would love to have you. Your knowledge would be beneficial and your "contacts" as well.

*LEGAL: if you have a legal background your experience and advice would be helpful to the board.

*VOLUNTEER: If you are interested in joining the board there are other positions/jobs that need to be fulfilled as well. We need dedicated, compassionate and organized people from all walks of life!

We hope that you will consider joining the new local chapter of The Dream Factory! Thank you.
