Dream Foundation Hosts The No Gala Gala to Raise Critical Funds
The Californer/10255709

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Californer -- In place of its usual in-person fall event, Dream Foundation is to host The No Gala Gala, a non-event that starts on Friday, October 27^th and ends on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. Supporters will be invited to bid on an online auction and donate funds to help make Dreams come true for terminally-ill adults across the country and Puerto Rico.

Faced with a dramatic surge of Dream applications, Dream Foundation has opted to host the online non-event in place of its customary in-person event this year. The No Gala Gala can be enjoyed from the comfort of one's home and 100% of funds raised from the non-event will go directly to granting Dreams.

Auction highlights include lunch in Los Angeles with legendary swimmer Diana Nyad, whose triumphant life will be explored in NYAD, a film scheduled to release October 20, 2023, starring Jodie Foster and Annette Benning, a private lesson in character design for animation with Emmy Award winning animation artist, Andy Suriano, a personalized video message from remarkable actor, producer, director and Dream Foundation Ambassador, Rob Lowe, as well as vacation packages in New York City, Maui, and St. Barths.
