About DREAMS COME TRUE OF JACKSONVILLE INC

Dreams Come True of Jacksonville, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dream‑granting organization that serves children ages 2½–18 who live in or are treated in seven counties of Northeast Florida and who face life‑threatening medical conditions. The organization coordinates medically‑approved, individualized dreams (from theme‑park trips to smaller requests) through referrals from medical professionals and local hospital partners. Founded in 1984 and operating as the region’s locally based dream‑granting charity, Dreams Come True reports more than 5,000 dreams granted since inception. Recent activity includes steady fundraising and community events (annual DCT 5K, gala, bass and golf tournaments), a Moore Scholarship program (established 2020) for Dreamers and siblings, and documented holiday program impacts (for example, the organization reported holiday program support for 155 Dream families and several thousand toys in recent seasonal campaigns).
