“There is nothing like a dream to create the future.” – Victor Hugo
Our Mission
Toby’s Dream Foundation ensures that children with life-threatening illnesses, living in Hampton Roads and beyond, have the opportunity and resources to imagine and experience their most fantastic dream.
Our Vision
Toby’s Dream Foundation creates dream experiences for children facing an uncertain tomorrow because of a life-threatening illness. These Dream experiences allow these children to continue believing in the possibility of a moment unencumbered and a life full of hope.
Not all children live the care-free lives they deserve. As a result, their capacity to dream becomes hindered by the news of an uncertain tomorrow. For some, their days are consumed with treatment and therapy, doctor’s offices and hospitals. These children face challenges that many adults would cower from, and are able to do so with courage that inspires us all.
Bringing Dreams to Life
Make A Difference
Toby’s Dream Foundation relies heavily on our volunteer Dream Makers, and upon the generosity of friends and community members to achieve our dream of giving the children of our region unforgettable experiences that bring hope to children facing an uncertain future. Contributions of time, talent, goods and services, and financial donations are greatly appreciated.
Donations to Toby’s Dream Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, are tax-deductible. Over 87 cents from every dollar donated goes directly to the children we support. Thank you for considering how your talents and resources can help fulfill children’s Dreams in greater Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
THE DREAM PROCESS: A diverse team of both volunteer Dream Makers and Staff help the children we serve to realize their most fantastic Dreams. The process begins by confirming the child’s referral and eligibility for our program, which must be approved by the child’s physician. Next, our volunteer Dream Makers interview the child to discover his or her Dream. Then, Toby’s Dream Foundation designs and delivers the Dream to the delight of a child who so rightfully deserves an experience of a lifetime and a moment of complete elation.
