Bringing Normal Childhood Experiences to Foster Youth Across the Nation

For millions of children, joining the soccer team, heading to camp, or seeing their favorite basketball players in action on the court are happy memories that also teach important life lessons.

Research shows when a child participates in extracurricular activities like sports, dance, or music, you often see improved grades, attendance, and self-esteem. But for thousands of foster youth across the country, these experiences are out of reach.

Every year, GoPlay! funds foster kids passions so they can join the team, pick up a musical instrument, or even go to camp. Whether it’s meeting a professional sports team on the field, attending a summer camp tailored for them, or scoring their first goal, we want foster youth to know WE CARE and they are worthy. It's goal is to widen horizons, teach important life skills, and bring joy through access to extracurricular activities and experiences.

Types of Activities We Fund

SPORTS

CAMP

PROM/SCHOOL EXPERIENCES

Through the Ticket to Dream GoPlay! program our youth have the opportunity to engage in extracurricular activities, which greatly enriches their lives.

Being exposed to new and different activities encourages our youth to nurture a skill, discover a new-found interest, or simply engage in the world around them.

DRIVERS EDUCATION

Foster youth who are moved from one home to another often struggle with feeling a real sense of belonging.

Being a part of a sports team or youth club can give them a sense of stability and support during times of crisis, a shelter from the storms.

We are so thankful for Ticket

to Dream’s help to make these activities possible for foster kids.

Thanks to Ticket to Dream's generosity, we have been able to provide a variety of outdoor sporting goods, passes to museums, passes to recreation centers with indoor pools, the zoo, and amusement parks.

We've also been able to send many of our kiddos to a variety of summer camps, including one kiddo who was excited to share how he looked in his new football uniform on the first day of football camp drills.

Thanks to Ticket To Dream for positively impacting our kiddos lives in such a meaningful way.
