The 27th Annual I Have a Dream Foundation Miami Gala will be held on Thursday, November 3, 2022, celebrating the life-changing work that this Foundation provides for the people of the Miami community. The principal owners of Acqualina, Stephanie, Jules and Eddie Trump (no relation to the former US president), founded the Miami-Dade chapter in 1995. The Foundation empowers children in low-income communities to achieve higher education and fulfill their leadership potential by providing them with the skills, knowledge, and habits they need to gain entry to higher education and succeed in college and beyond.

Guests who attend the November 3rd Gala are in store for a magical evening, which will include a cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by dinner, music and a live auction. Gala guests will meet the new class of Dreamers and get a deep and personal glimpse into the true impact of the I Have a Dream Foundation and how it helps keep the children of our community, inner-city youth, on a path to success.

The I Have a Dream Foundation adopted the entire second grade class (97 Dreamers) at the Charles R. Drew School in Liberty City. 95 Dreamers reached the 12th grade, 83 of them graduated in 2005 on time and 54 graduated from college. In August 2007, the “I Have a Dream” Foundation adopted a new class of Dreamers at Hibiscus Elementary School in Miami, the class of 2020. Out of 107 Dreamers, 96 graduated on time and five graduated in 2021. As a result, 86 Dreamers are now enrolled in post-secondary education. Our Dreamers have gone on to become teachers, social workers, secretaries, electricians, nurses, entrepreneurs, and proud and productive citizens.
63 Dreamers, now in the 3rd Grade, will become the graduating class of 2032, and will be given the same opportunities as the classes of 2005 and 2020.
