At Dreams Come True, magic happens daily.
Dreams come in all shapes and sizes; some children ask for a trip to Disney World, a cruise, or the opportunity to meet a celebrity. For others, the dream is seeing snow or snuggling with their puppy.
Whatever the dream may be, the momentary reprieve from doctor visits, tests, and medical treatments makes all the difference.
As the First Coast’s only locally-based organization dedicated to making dreams come true, we proudly say that we have never turned away an eligible dreamer and never will.
We can do this because of the generosity of our donors, business partners, program sponsors, and the support of our Board of Directors. We are not affiliated with any national wish-granting charity, and 100% of all donations go toward fulfilling dreams unless otherwise directed by the donor.

Impact of Dreams Come True
Since 1984, Dreams Come True has been using the power of a dream to bring hope and joy to First Coast children battling life-threatening medical conditions. The power of Dreams Come True does not just stop at the dream, but also includes many special “Moments in Between”, created from the time a child is referred and throughout their medical journey.

“The trip was more than we anticipated. We are most grateful to Dreams Come True for the memories we made as a family. The Dreams Come True team members have seen Allen at his lowest and they have held our hand through the struggles." – Family of Allen R.
Meghan D.
“Dreams Come True made my dream truly come true. I thank you for putting my dream together and making it as perfect as you could. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I had a blast! Watching those games and seeing those girls at that level makes me want to work hard and get to that level.” –The Family of Meghan D.
Isaiah E.
“Isaiah’s cancer journey was far from easy, with so many ups and downs. This trip was exactly what he needed. It was wonderful to see him smiling so much and just engrossed in the fun of everything we had the opportunity to do." – Family of Isaiah E.
Braxston
We celebrated Braxton's New Birthday with a Baby Shark-themed party! A bone marrow transplant, also known as a new birthday, is a crucial part of some children's treatment. We collaborated with the Wolfson Children's Hospital team to make it a celebration to remember!
Jaliyah
Dreams Come True has two "No More Chemo" bells at the Wolfson Children's Hospital. Jaliyah recently rang one of them after months of radiation and chemotherapy. Many other Dreamers and local children have rung the bells to end their treatments and start their journeys to remission.
Without the support of our local community & businesses, none of this would be possible!
Our Partners
We are immensely grateful for the unwavering support of our dedicated community partners. Their commitment to our nonprofit has been instrumental in helping us achieve our mission and make a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve.
