Inspired to Dream Fundraising Gala
September 9, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$65 – $800
Are you ready to see your dreams come to life?!?! Join us on Saturday, September 9th, 2023 as the Dream Upward Foundation in partnership with Inspiring Minds-RDU prepares to conquer uncharted territory in the RTP and surrounding areas!
Party with a purpose! This is a community fundraising event to promote the expansion of the Dream Upward Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission and vision are to inspire others to continue to pursue their dreams.
What is the Dream Upward Foundation and why should I support it? I’m glad you asked!
The Dream Upward Foundation was born from the acclaimed BECOME H.E.R. Speaker’s series, a half-day event that was designed to empower, encourage, and educate women seeking to find the unique balance between love (whether it be through relationships or marriage), leadership roles, and motherhood while cultivating a holistic wellness agenda. The purpose of the series was to allow women (and men) of all nationalities and backgrounds to collaborate with other like-minded professionals while cultivating long-lasting bonds with one another and gain a community of support as they navigated through challenging situations.
The new face of our brand will maintain the same vision but with a greater footprint that will allow us to serve underserved, indigent populations, and marginalized communities by providing resources to help them conquer challenges in their everyday lives.
