The Momentum Festival Benefits these Worthy Charities

Dream Factory

The Dream  Factory, Inc. was founded in 1980 by Charles Henault, a South Central Bell employee, who wanted to create a volunteer organization  dedicated to granting the dreams of children with critical or chronic illnesses. The Dream Factory is a member of the Association of Wish Granting Organizations (AWGO), which has 20 members across the nation all serving the needs of children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.

Dream Factory of Florida is a newly-formed chapter and the first chapter in the state of Florida. Local volunteers desire to make dreams come true for ill children between the ages of 3 and 18 residing in Brandon and the surrounding areas. For information on how to refer a child, make a donation or become a volunteer, please visit www.DreamFactoryInc.com.
