Capture the Dream, Inc. is a product of Founder Janine Lee's dream to
create a non-profit organization aimed at improving the community, one
individual and one dream at a time. After working with a low income single mother and witnessing the
challenges she was going through, Janine learned firsthand of the
financial hardships and daily struggles that low income individuals
commonly face. At the age of 21, Founder
Janine
Lee became reacquainted with a mentor who ran his own non-profit
organization. Through his guidance, Capture the Dream, Inc. was
registered
with the Secretary of State, California on July 7th, 2006.
The logo of Capture the Dream, Inc., the Dreamcatcher, embodies the function of the organization. The Ojibway, a tribe of Native Americans, traditionally crafted dreamcatchers by bending a piece of willow wood into a hoop, weaving an ornate net within it, and garnishing it with beads and feathers. According to Native American legend, the dreamcatcher was hung above the bed of children as a charm to protect them from nightmares. The web would catch the bad dreams, while the good dreams passed through the center hole and trickled down the feathers. Eventually, the bad dreams would evaporate on the web during the light of the dawn.
