On Friday May 14, the Dreamcatcher’s club held a fundraiser at Glenyermo Elementary School to raise money to grant new dreams. Glenyermo students could pay $1 to wear pajamas to school, or get a streak of color in their hair.

“The school only has about 420 kids and we raised around $700, so that is awesome!” said Dreamcatcher’s president, Caitlin Crommett.

The money raised from this fundraiser granted the dream of Leonardo Flores, a terminal cancer patient. It allowed him to go with his family to Disneyland for the day.  Mr. Flores greatly appreciated that the club was able to take not only himself, but his three children, as well as his two grandchildren to Disneyland.

This past weekend, the Dream Catchers club was hard at work granting many wishes for the residents at the Lake Forest Nursing Center, and hosting a fundraiser at the Neighborhood Cup in Aliso Viejo.

Junior Caitlin Crommett, president of Dream Catchers, spoke about the successful weekend explaining, “On Saturday, singer Mike Chamberlain sang for the residents at the nursing center, and everyone really enjoyed it. On Sunday, we raised one hundred and eighty dollars for the club, which will help us fulfill the dream of someone who has less than six months to live.”

Development for this fundraiser began in December when Jason Brown, a local photographer, read about Caitlin and her club in the OC Register online. He contacted her parents saying he wanted to contribute to her club. They decided to hold a photo exhibition, which would donate fifty percent of proceeds from every photograph purchased, to the club.

“It was great to be a part of something that helps people so much. I am proud to be a member of this club, and help raise money for it,” Junior Shannon Donahue, a member of Dream Catchers, said.
