Thank you to everyone who helps CYD continue to provide our high quality programs to our students with their gifts of time, resources and money. (Please see 2005 Funders for a complete list).

“Sometimes I wonder where my old friends would be if they had been in CYD with me. Some of them didn’t graduate from high school. They might not have followed the crowd and got caught up bad things….If they were in CYD they would have had somewhere to go, and something to see besides run down houses, prostitution, violence, and drugs. They might not have forgotten their goals and dreams.”
--Zeric, recent CYD Graduate.
 
For the last eleven years, Create Your Dreams has been ensuring that our students get the opportunity to discover their dreams, find their potential, and reach their goals. The impact of our program has been amazing: 20 of our 21 graduates are pursuing a college degree or a specialized trade. Some of these students never believed they would even graduate from high school and most are the first person in their family to go to college. Our students have defied negative statistics and have broken the cycle of poverty in their communities.

There are several ways to support our worthy programs:

Class Sponsorships: Class sponsors are donors who want to support a group of students over several years as they grow in our program. Class sponsors will receive information about their class quarterly. Class Sponsorships range from $1,000 to $25,000. For more information, please contact Alissa at 404-249-9166 or Alissa@createyourdreams.org

Event Sponsorships: Event sponsors tie their support to our annual events with donations ranging from $250 to $5,000. Event sponsors are listed on event promotional materials and are showcased events. Event sponsors also receive tickets to the events as part of their donation. For more information, including sponsorship levels, visit 2006 Events or contact Alissa at 404-249-9166 or Alissa@createyourdreams.org
Annual Campaign: Each year, donors make a real impact on our students and our community by contributing to our annual campaign donations ranging from $25 to $5,000. Your donation will ensure that Create Your Dreams remains the safe, second home that has supported our students for 11 years with committed staff and volunteers. Your donation will allow us to continue to expand our programs to better serve our students. Your donation will provide students with skills, resources and opportunities that will keep their goals and dreams close at hand.
