Title : Founder
Raising awareness of the foster system will take care of itself. There are enough good people out there that once they understand exactly what this population is made up of, they will be outraged and will demand change.
Causes And Collaboration
About My Causes
The bottom line is that each and every one of us was put on this earth for a reason. We each have had our own journey with some better than others. Why am I here? It was not to play baseball, which that I know. It was to be a father, an uncle, mentor, coach, role-model and voice for the children of foster system. We all need a safety net. Help me be theirs!
I Donate to these nonprofits:
On Deck Foundation at www.ondeckfoundation.org
Other Ways I Would Like to Make a Difference
I would like to join the efforts being done to better the current foster system. They need our voices and they need them now!
People I Would Like to Collaborate With

Any non-profit reaching out to under-privileged and at-risk youth.

Thank you for connecting with the Children's Dream Fund on MTDN.com. We are grateful for every opportunity we have to build relationships between the web-community and the Children's Dream Fund. With the help and support of caring people like you, we have been able to make dreams come true for every child referred to us for the past 28 years.

This past year we granted over 120 dreams and will need everyone’s support more than ever for 2009. Our hope is that your friends and your company will follow your lead and become a “dream maker” as well. One of the dreams we recently completed was for 17-year-old Matthew whose dream came true when he and his family traveled to Hawaii to attend the Pro Bowl at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. Thanks to our generous community Matthew has memories that will last a lifetime.

If you would like to know more about the Children's Dream Fund and how you can help, I would be happy to talk to you 727.896.6390 or email sharvey@childrensdreamfund.org. Thank you for partnering with us to make children’s dreams come true.

Sincerely,

Sarah Harvey
