Fifty-five
underprivileged Las Vegas students
in grades K through 3 were selected
and adopted as "DREAMERS" by
the "I Have a Dream " ®Foundation
in 1996. Since then, these students
have received quality schooling and
emotional support for their families.
However, their ultimate dream is
yet to come. Find out how you can
help.
The
mission of the "I Have a Dream" ®Foundation
is to help children from low-income
families become productive citizens
by providing a long-term program
of tutoring, mentoring and enrichment,
with the assured opportunity for
higher education.

Services
have been, and will continue to be,
provided to the 55 students and their
families selected in 1996. A new
generation of "DREAMERS" will
be selected at an undetermined time
in the future.
