DREAMPACK CAMPAIGN

Please check this space again at the approach of the 2012-2013 school year for updated program information.

With the start of each new school year families spend a large amount of money on school supplies. And with nearly 25% of East Bay residents suffering economic hardship*,  many parents cannot afford to purchase basic school supplies, like pencils and notebooks. Adding to the problem, government budget cuts are forcing schools to reduce the number of supplies that they can provide. The mix of poverty and tighter budgets is leaving too many students without the tools they need to succeed in school.

Capture the Dream, Inc. attempts to remedy the problem through its annual DreamPack Campaign. The campaign provides needy students of various ages and grade levels with brand new backpacks filled with school supplies. Every back pack contains 30 items that are customized for each student's grade level and needs. Equipped with the right tools, students can finally focus on learning.

CTD is currently accepting donations for the Dream Pack Campaign. For every $20 that is donated, CTD will purchase one Dream Pack for one child.

What's a DreamPack?
Each DreamPack is a customized BackPack full of school supplies and necessities that provide a child with essential tools for learning. 

How can I help?
Donate a tax-deductible donation of $20 per child to receive a backpack full of 30 supply items.  If you would like to donate unused or new school supplies, we require a bulk minimum of 100 like items to provide consistency for the children receiving the supplies.

Please join us as we provide essential school supplies for Bay Area school children.

How can my child get a free DreamPack?

Benefiting schools are selected based on a short application process that evaluates the school's demographics, including the number of youth participating in the government subsidized free lunch program that exceed the state average. Contact your child's teachers and school administrators to request that they apply for this program on behalf of all students in your child's class.

Please contact Kay@capturethedream.org for more information.

What do you do with DreamPacks that may be left over from this year's campaign?

Any remaining DreamPacks will be stored for the next year's campaign.

Please note that requests for DreamPacks are processed in the order that they are received.  A submission of the above form does not guarantee a DreamPack.

For additional questions on the program, please contact us.
