Achieving Dreams strives to increase the ability of youth and adults to grow and succeed in our community by providing funding for their participation in organized activities that engage in the positive building of self-esteem, personal development, artistic inspiration and education.
In these times of families struggling to make ends meet, it is difficult to balance the necessities. Often times the arts, music, sports,and educational opportunities are sacrificed. Years of participation in these activities can come to an abrupt stop because of financial woes. This can snuff out hopes, dreams, and ambitions for bright or even brilliant careers.
Achieving Dreams is a vessel for reaching out to the community to serve a mission of hope and offer youth and adults an opportunity to continue in organized activities and education that enlightens and improves the human condition.
Volunteers of Achieving Dreams are people willing to band together to help these youth and adults succeed. Our program is entirely comprised of volunteers. All proceeds are focused on our mission to help families afford meaningful and positive experiences in organized activities and education.
Achieving Dreams receives funds based on concession stand sales at major sporting events. Additional funds are raised through flower sales and other special events.
The amount raised varies from game to game and venue to venue. For 2022, Twins events will offer a guarantee of $125 per game and $150 for non-holiday weekday day games. Gophers football , Lynx/Timberwolves, and Wild Games are a minimum of $90 and Vikings a minumum of $200.
You must be 16* or older to volunteer at Allianz Field, Huntington Bank Stadium, Target Field, and US Bank Stadium. To volunteer at Target Center or the Xcel Energy Center you must be at least 18 years old.
*Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian that is also volunteering at the same event.
Individuals volunteer in concessions at the Twins, Vikings, Gopher, Timberwolves, Lynx and MN United as well as participating in flower sales and other fundraising events.
An Achieving Dreams’ volunteer raises between $90 and $200 per event to add to the grant fund pool.
