Speaker 1 (00:15):
A twenty on WBT on this December second. Yesterday was
Cyber Monday. Today Giving Tuesday. On this show, we try
to spotlight organizations that are important to us. We heard
from Emily Ratliffe at Clare's Army last hour. David Shadwick
is going to join us with a big announcement coming
up at nine oh five. And right now, I want
(00:38):
to welcome a guy that I've gotten to know in
recent years, and Beth introduced me to in an organization
for that matter called dream On three. And Brandon Lindsay
is with us on the WBT hotline.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Brandon, good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
We love that you are taking time to talk with
us this morning and to talk with our audience on
a day that we're finds people how important it is
to give this season and how great it will make
your heart feel to give. Let people know if people
are just hearing about dream on three for the very
first time, tell people all about what your organization does.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Thank you so much, and you know what, and of
all the amazing charities out there, it's an honor that
you guys have given us an opportunity to share about
our mission. Dreaming three is a dream graining organization. We
identify young kids and young adults that are living with
life altering conditions and we make their sports stream come true,
(01:38):
their ultimate sports stream, and we do it in a
way that provides hope, joy and love and their situations,
just reminding them that they are seeing, they are loved
and they've got a team around them that will make
sure that they can still live out their dreams no
matter what they're going through. And we've just hit our
thirteen year anniversary. So we've been at this for a
(01:59):
while and it's just in an amazing journey. We've been
blessed so many ways by the support from this community.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Tell us tell us some of the some of the
sports dreams that you've already given to some of the
young people, so people get an idea of what you
mean by the sports dreams that you bring to people's lives.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, so we have done we've done everything. Bet if
you can think of a team we've likely worked with them.
We've worked with all the best athletes in the world.
You know, if the kid's dream is to go swim
with the Dolphins, that's not us. We don't do that.
But if the kid wants to swim with the Miami Dolphins,
that's what we do. And matter of fact, we just
(02:38):
had a kid come back last weekend from a Miami
Dolphins dream that just happened. We had our second f
one dream at the Vegas Race here a couple of
weeks ago. We've had a kid that wanted to meet
Chuck Norris, Steph Curry, you know, smobiles. It's just it's
been all over the place. But we focused primarily on
(03:01):
sports dreams and we use those to encourage our dreamers
to keep moving forward through their challenges.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I love it well. And one of the cool things
that we, meaning Beth and we have had a chance
to do in recent years is MC along with fly
Tie and Jacinda at the Charlotte Convention Center. We've done
the Dream on three gala and this year's event is
coming up on January thirty first, next month. I can't
(03:28):
believe I'm saying next month now, but here we are
about to head into a new year, but we have
actually we've actually helped make some of those dreams happen.
I mean we've been on stage and we had one
a few years ago. It was a Dallas Cowboys related
dream that we helped fulfill and we you know, this
is the thing live. This is what I love about
Brandon and all this his people at dream on three.
(03:52):
It's not can we do it? It's how are we
going to know?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
How are we going to make this happen?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I mean, I know, part of what fuels you is
is you get challenge and then you've got to get
your team together and make it happen. And part of
the joy of the process is obviously is seeing that
the end the end result, but actually getting there is
half the fun.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well, no, you're so right, And that's one of our
core values is waymaker. I don't even think it's a word.
We made it up, but it is trying to find
a way when there's there seems to be no way.
And this team gets told no all the time. We
get told no, but our dream kids get told no,
and we just make it one of our values that
we're going to find a way. We're going to find
a way to make these things happen, and I don't
(04:34):
want to spoil it because I want you to experience
this in the moment. We're going to have another Dreamer
bal at this year's gala, so you're going to be
a part of making another dream come true again.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
January thirty first, Well, we feel so lucky that you'll
let us be a part of the gala every year.
This will be my fifth or sixth gala with you all.
I have just fallen in love with your entire team.
I've fallen in love with all of your dreamers, all
of the children, all of the young people that you
have helped. How can people give today and can they
still today be part of the gala? Come and meet us,
(05:07):
Come and meet you, Come and see all of them,
because you always have the dreamers there too, so they
can see the young people that they are impacting as well.
Can people still come?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Absolutely? Yes, We've got tickets available through our website. We
would love to have you come experience this event. If
you haven't come before, you've got to see it for
no other reason for our host right you can is
incredible night. It is. I'm a little biased, but it's
one of the best events of the year. And the
(05:38):
reason is our Dreamers are there. It's all about our
dream kids. They're the celebrities, they're the VIP of the night.
You know. One of the things I love about Giving
Tuesday is that it is a chance to come alongside
of a charity, a nonprofit organization that is out there
just grinding it out each and every day. And we've
had the opportunity to meet some incredible people that are
(06:01):
doing great things. There's so many wonderful charities out there,
and today I think people have an opportunity to just
come alongside of It. Doesn't have to be some incredible,
monstrous gift, just just a note of encouragement, to share
a post, share the mission online, make a small gift,
offer to volunteer your time. But find a nonprofit that's
(06:24):
out there making a difference and come alongside of them today.
And if you don't have one that you're passionate about,
we invite you to get behind the mission of dream
On three. This year's daily theme is your Move Matters.
Our dream kids and their families make courageous moves through
their situation every day, every day they do, and we
just will get inspired by that, and we want to
(06:44):
tell everyone that your move matters. You know, no matter
how small your gift is or what action you're willing
to take, it matters, and it allows us to say
yes more.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know, I got a note earlier today from a
listener who said, you know, why do people need a
special day to be charitable? And I agree, every day
you should be charitable. But one of the beauties of
this day, I mean, it's a great day to raise
money for various organizations, but I think it's equally important
to use the day to spotlight organizations that are out there,
because sometimes people don't know of organizations to give to.
(07:18):
And so that's what we're trying to do on our
show is spotlight the places that are the organizations that
mean a lot to us and that we've been partners
with for years. And dream on three is a great
one and I'm very honored to now be part of
this along with Beth and Brandon, Lindsay and all your
great staff that you have there. You guys work miracles
every year and we're excited for the January of gala
(07:39):
coming up. And dream on three dot org is where
you want to go to learn more. About the organization,
but we appreciate you coming on with us and we
will see you soon.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
We love you both. Thank you so much for the opportunity,
and get your sneakers ready. We'll see you on January thirty. First.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yes, that's a big thing for people to know, is
that this gala no matter if you're in an evening gown.
I wear them every year. I put on some sparkly
sneakers with McGown and it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I didn't tell Beth this, but I'm telling you, Brandon,
and Beth's hearing it. I bought some new shoes specifically
for the gala coming up next month, so I got
a new pair ready to go.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I hope they have rhymestones on them.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh, you know they do.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
All right, Brandon, we'll talk to you soon. Take care.
Thank you so much.
