yEAR-ROUND EVENTS

Love Our City Serve Day

June 28, 2025
This year, we will be collaborating with our Barnardsville Division to provide Hurricane Helene relief support to the Big Ivy Community Center.  Some projects include painting the inside/outside of the poo, replacing gravel and filling pot holes, and preparing  the baseball field for kids to have somewhere to play this summer. 

Backpack Giveaway

July 26, 2025
We believe in helping children in our city have every tool and resource possible to succeed in school. The Back-to-School Bash not only involves handing out backpacks and school supplies but also offering haircuts and clothing. The event is filled with fun activities for the day including bounce houses, water slides, a BBQ, face-painting, Shaved Iced trucks, and so much more!

Night of Dreams

November 7, 2025
On November 7, we are holding our Night of Dreams, a gala fundraiser where we will share the many milestones we have achieved over the past four years, and the many dreams we wish to see come true here in Asheville.                
Among our dreams is the building of a community center where kids can get tutoring after school, sports mentorship, coaching and performing arts exposure.  We have a one-year residential program designed to support men and women overcoming life-controlling issues in Los Angeles, and we would like to open one here. It is so necessary. We already have a program working with single parent family homes, filling in gaps, and providing necessities that we would like to expand.  There is SO-MUCH more!
Come learn about the Asheville Dream Center. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and would love to see you at Night of Dreams!
