Acqualina Resort & Residences developers, Stephanie, Jules, and Eddie Trump, are excited to host the 26th annual “I Have a Dream” Foundation Miami Gala on Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 5:30pm. The Gala will be an online experience and fundraiser celebrating the new group of Dreamers, the Class of 2032. The Trump family founded the Miami-Dade chapter in 1995.
Guests who attend the Virtual Gala are in store for a meaningful evening, mixing live elements with prerecorded segments and emceed by Roxanne Vargas, NBC 6 News Anchor.
In addition, a silent auction will take place with all the funds benefitting the “I Have a Dream” Foundation Miami Dreamers.
The “I Have a Dream” Foundation empowers children from low-income areas to reach their educational and career goals by providing a long-term program of mentoring, tutoring, and tuition assistance for higher education. The Foundation guarantees the children’s academic tuition at a Florida state university for a four-year degree or an accredited trade school.
“We are honored to be part of this incredible program. We are preparing our Dreamers to become proud and productive citizens by giving them the necessary tools they need to make their dreams a reality. So many of these Dreamers are the first in their families to graduate high school, let alone go on to college,” says Stephanie Trump. “It is so rewarding to see our Dreamer graduates who have gone on to successful career paths.”
The Foundation adopted the entire second grade class (97 Dreamers) at the Charles R. Drew School in Liberty City. 95 Dreamers reached the 12th grade, 83 of them graduated in 2005 on time and 54 graduated from college. In August 2007, the “I Have a Dream” Foundation adopted a new class of Dreamers at Hibiscus Elementary School in Miami, the class of 2020. Out of 107 Dreamers, 96 graduated on time and five graduated in 2021. As a result, 86 Dreamers are now enrolled in post-secondary education. Our Dreamers have gone on to become teachers, social workers, secretaries, electricians, nurses, entrepreneurs, and proud and productive citizens.
63 new Dreamers will become the graduating class of 2032, and will be given the same opportunities as the classes of 2005 and 2020.
