On June 04, 2007 The Knoxville Rugby Club will be hosting a golf tournament at The Willow Creek Golf Course called the 2007 Golf Challenge Benefiting Dream Connection. The 2007 Golf Challenge Benefiting Dream Connection will be structured to support fulfilling the special dreams of children ages 3-18 who are faced with life threatening or chronically debilitating illnesses. A “dream come true” to a child can give back a childhood, in some small way, that which disease and illness have taken away.
I’m ready to sponsor the tournament!
Established and incorporated under Tennessee state law on October 10, 1985, The Dream Connection, Inc. is a non-profit organization. Its goal is to accept and raise charitable contributions exclusively for fulfilling the “once-in-a-lifetime dream come true” of children between the ages of three and eighteen, with life-threatening or chronically debilitating illnesses in the East Tennessee community. It is dedicated to directing 100% of its contributions to fulfilling the dreams of the children it serves. As the only organization of its kind in East Tennessee, The Dream Connection is the result of a group of volunteers who realized the need for an organization dedicated to fulfilling the special dreams of children battling life-threatening or chronically debilitating illnesses. 19 years and hundreds of dreams later, The Dream Connection continues to fulfill the dreams of children diagnosed with leukemia, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and other conditions.
About 60 to 75 dreams are fulfilled per year through the support of individuals, businesses, and civic organizations. There are no traditional expenses, such as those of an office, executive director salary or other general expenses normally associated with such an organization. Staffed completely by volunteers, The Dream Connection donates time, money, and in-kind gifts towards making these dreams reality. First Tennessee Bank in Knoxville provides a grant to fund The Dream Connection’s telephone “Dream Line”. In addition, other expenses such as post office box rental, printing supplies and postage are funded through direct grants associated with volunteer board members or the local business firms they represent. Operated solely by a volunteer board of directors, an advisory board and other concerned citizens, they donate their time and efforts to raising funds for dreams come true for these special children.
Please join us in this opportunity to further the mission of Dream Connection of East Tennessee by being one of our corporate sponsors. Below is a list of various donation options. Meeting the needs of these families now will positively impact the quality of their lives in the years ahead. Your contribution can make this a reality.
Please contact our event chair, Sean Mohr, to discuss your commitment, and answer any questions you might have.
