"Families who have a child with Cerebral Palsy"

Baptist Health - Wolfson Children's Rehab

Cerveny Conference Center, Live Oak, FL

 

Deliver the Dream celebrated it's 85th retreat weekend! Eleven families who have a child with Cerebral Palsy joined us for a weekend of fun, relaxation, laughter and tears.  Families were brought together with team building activities, art activities, parties, bingo and more!  Everyone was so sad to say goodbye to each other, but we know these families and volunteers will be in touch for a long time!

Deliver the Dream raises $8,000 with help of Musical Prodigies

Gabrielle and Zachariah Chou along with Title Sponsor Citrix Systems Inc. raise money for our families in need.


Deliver the Dream began 2010 in complete harmony.


Our first event of the year, "A Night of 88 Keys", featured 14-year old piano sensation Gabrielle Chou and her 11-year old brother, Zachariah, on cello and piano. The event, sponsored by Citrix Systems, Inc., was held at the Steinway Piano Gallery in Boca Raton. The recital, which raised $8,000 for our award-winning Family Retreat Program included pieces from Beethoven, Chopin and Tchaikovsky.
