Sweet Dreams “Artsy Style”
For the fourth year in a row, 100 women donated nearly $20,000 once again to support the Des Moines “I Have A Dream Foundation” at the annual “Sweet Dreams” event – this year the theme was “artsy style.” Guests were hosted by the Dream Makers and treated at Gloria and Bob Burnett’s home to hors d’oeuvres, beverages, tours, a short program and performances by two students who are involved in the King I Have A Dream Project.

About Des Moines “I Have A Dream” Foundation
Every five years, the Des Moines “I Have a Dream” Foundation adopts a class of inner-city 1st graders. We hire a hand-picked staff of educators to work directly with them all the way through high school, and we also assign a mentor for each child to keep positive contact outside the classroom. We call our kids “Dreamers.” If a Dreamer stays in school and graduates from high school, we will pay for college (or any type of post-high school education). There’s no other program like this anywhere.
