Partnering with The Los Angeles Rams

“The Rams are proud to support the mission of Dream Foundation as they continue to find meaningful ways to serve terminally-ill adults and their families through the fulfillment of Dreams and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Leading up to Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in February, we worked with Dream Foundation to invite Matthew Blakeman, a hero and military veteran diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, to the game to witness our organization make history with a Super Bowl LVI victory. Thanks to Dream Foundation, we were able to provide Matthew with an experience he will always remember and cherish.”

Legacy of Dreams Planned Giving Donors

Planned Giving: The Gift of Inspiration, Comfort and Closure

Legacy giving is a charitable contribution such as a bequest or an annuity that allows you to make a future gift to Dream Foundation without substantially affecting your income today. The easiest planned gift is a simple bequest that names Dream Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or living trust.

A bequest is a revocable provision that can be changed at any time but when realized can help sustain a legacy of Dreams for future generations of Dream recipients. A bequest can leave a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the residue of your estate. The amount you designate will pass to Dream Foundation free of estate tax.

A legacy gift is a lasting statement of your generosity and caring for the most vulnerable members of our communities. It is a gift you and your family can be proud of.

Dream Foundation’s Legacy Dream Circle recognizes those who have made a current or deferred gift to Dream Foundation.
