Believe in Dreams Launches Bold New Campaign: Raising $1 Million in One Year for Families Touched by Serious Illness

Moorestown, NJ – Believe in Dreams (www.believeindreams.com), a charitable organization dedicated to increasing the quality of life of seriously ill children and adults, is pleased to announce the successful launch of the Believe in Dreams year-long campaign to raise $1 million for the seriously ill and their families.

The campaign commenced on January 1, 2010 and runs through December 31, 2010, and features hallmark events including a Carnegie Hall concert featuring singer/actor Chandler Lutz and other well-known performers, co-sponsored by DoSomething.org; performances at Atlantic City’s House of Blues by Chandler Lutz; and more. The proceeds from the Believe in Dreams campaign will help ease the fear, anxiety, and isolation that families face by helping to meet needs and find cures that will improve their hope and their quality of life.

"The central message of the Believe in Dreams campaign is one of inspiration," said Believe in Dreams Founder Chandler Lutz. "In addition to raising $1 million in one year, our goal is to inspire the seriously ill and their families to reach for their dreams. Our goal is also to inspire everyone, regardless of age, gender, or creed, to stand up and use their talents to make a positive difference in someone’s life. The first part of making any dream come true is taking that first step."

Believe in Dreams welcomes sponsorships and contributions to the Believe in Dreams campaign. For a complete list of campaign events and dates, and to learn how to be a sponsor, visit www.believeindreams.com.
