For more information, please feel free to contact us anytime with your questions.
Basic Info
What is Dream Factory of Central Illinois Mission?
The Central Illinois Dream Factory is on a mission: to make dreams come true for critically and chronically ill children. Bright hopes and dream are a beautiful part of childhood. But some dreams just can't be delayed – and that's why we're here. Each dream granted gives these children and their families a little extra strength to face the difficult and uncertain times ahead. Because sometimes the best medicine for a critically ill child is a dream come true.
What types of dreams have you granted?
Central Illinois Dream Factory has granted a wide-range of dreams for our dream recipients. And we'll consider any reasonable dream request. In general, our dream requests have fallen into one of the three following categories:
Ø Travel Dreams - A portion of our dream children wish to travel to a favorite theme park; meanwhile others want to visit beach, or attend a concert.
Ø Meeting A Hero - Some kids' dreams are to meet their favorite movie star, recording artist, or favorite athlete.
Ø Gift Dreams - Some dream children wish to have a gift, like a computer, a swimming pool, or a new animal that can expand the laughter and smiles that should be apart of their lives.
