Dream Big! partners with social-service organizations, schools and community health centers to identify and fulfill the basic needs of low-income and homeless girls, in elementary, junior high and high school in order to help them engage in sports, recreation and physical activities.
Dream Big! provides through Equipment Grants and Program Scholarships the following items to girls in-need and the programs that serve them:
1. Equipment, footwear, uniforms, program fees and training expenses.
2. Games and equipment that encourage young girls to play and become physically active.
Physical activity can be fun and achieved in a variety of ways. Dream Big! wants to breakdown the financial barrier that currently prevents girls from participating in an activity or sport they love.

"If I hadn't started to participate in Sports at age 7, and continued throughout my life, I don't think my body would have been strong enough to have survived the pancreatic cancer diagnosis I received in 2008. My doctor attributes my survival to my good health and athletic body and mind!"
