Dream Factory of Brooklyn Marks 15 Remarkable Years

The Dream Factory of Brooklyn is excited to announce a special event honoring its 15th anniversary, a milestone that celebrates the organization’s dedication to granting dreams for children facing critical and chronic illnesses. The highlight of this celebration will be a charity baseball game featuring the Brooklyn Cyclones on Sunday, August 17th, at Maimonides Park. The game promises an afternoon filled with family-friendly activities, community connection, and uplifting stories of hope.

Community Support Recognized

This landmark anniversary will be recognized officially by the New York City Council, which will present the Dream Factory of Brooklyn with a Proclamation. This honor acknowledges the organization’s unwavering commitment over the past 15 years to bring joy and unforgettable experiences to countless children and their families.

Mark Catuogno, the President of the Dream Factory of Brooklyn, shared his enthusiasm for the event, stating, "This anniversary reflects the power of our community. We owe our success to our dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, and partners who have helped create unforgettable memories for remarkable children. We are thrilled to celebrate with the Brooklyn Cyclones and the wider Brooklyn community."

A Day of Fun and Philanthropy

The collaboration between the Brooklyn Cyclones and the Dream Factory is a perfect match for the event. Taking place at the Cyclones' home field, the charity game will feature on-field recognitions, entertainment, and special opportunities for attendees to make a difference by supporting the mission of making dreams come true.

This year marks a significant achievement, as all tickets for the charity game have sold out, showcasing the community's incredible generosity and enthusiasm. For those who are unable to secure a ticket, the Dream Factory invites everyone to join their silent auction, creating another opportunity to help fulfill children's dreams.

Additionally, the organization extends its heartfelt appreciation to Spireworks for illuminating iconic New York City landmarks in celebration of this milestone. On August 17th, from 7:51 PM to 2:00 AM EST, various landmarks will shine bright, honoring the children they serve and the dreams they grant. Notable locations include One World Trade Center, One Bryant Park, and Halletts Point, creating a visual tribute that can be seen across the city.
