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!
