A benefit performance by The Mosaic Choir and Orchestra on Armed Services Day at the Boys and Girls Club on behalf of Permission to Start Dreaming is going to be an incredible tribute to our country and a tribute to the following Memorial Weekend!
Now in its fourth year, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Observed on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
— JFK
On this Veterans Day, the Permission to Start Dreaming Foundation is committed to elevating the lives of our Veterans and their families while pledging to live worthy of the 1% who serve our Country. We walk in freedom because of your service and sacrifice. Grateful.
Reflecting on that horrendous day of 9/11 at the Freedom Tower and memorial in New York is a somber experience and for thousands if not millions will always be stingingly painful. Many young men and women saw that day as a call to arms and signed up to protect our country and our way of life which includes the son of the Permission To Start Dreaming organization. His cousin was killed at the Pentagon that day leaving an indelible mark to the heart and soul of her family left behind.
