Naomi and her sister during her wish trip

2013-2014 Recap

This past school year Distance 4 Dreams accomplished a lot. Most importantly, we sponsored Naomi's trip down to Give Kids the World Village. She had a great time meeting all of the characters, especially the Disney princesses. As an organization, we were so honored to be able to grant her wish. Thanks to everyone who helped make her wish come true!

Along with Naomi's wish granting, some members made their own wishes come true by completing their first half or full marathon in Disney World! We sent around 50 members down to run in the races this past year. The trip was a blast, as always.


               


D4D intramurals hit a sweet spot this year. We won 5 championships! The sports we won were 4x4 flag football twice, preseason basketball, floor hockey, and dodgeball. We're always looking for new participants, so come out and join the fun.

In addition to our Minnie 5k and Pancake Breakfast fundraisers, we added our first ever spring semester fundraiser: a Distance 4 Dreams Euchre Tournament. It was a ton of fun, and we even taught some beginners how to play. Next year we cannot wait to increase the amount of participants who attend, so grab all of your friends to come out and play!
