I Have a Dream Foundation Gala

By Lori Capullo

The magic of the holiday season was amplified on November 21 when Stephanie, Jules and Eddie Trump hosted the 29th annual I Have a Dream Foundation Miami Gala at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida.

The I Have a Dream Foundation’s mission is to empower kids from low-income areas to meet their educational and career aspirations by providing them with mentoring, tutoring and tuition assistance for college. The Miami Chapter of the organization currently supports 63 Dreamers, who will comprise the graduating class of 2032.

To celebrate that class, who began their journey with the organization when they were in just second grade, the evening kicked off with a lively cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by a live auction where guests bid on spectacular vacations to Italy, France and more. Attendees enjoyed musical performances by the Dreamers and a laser light show while enjoying a gourmet meal and delicious wine.

“We are honored to be part of this incredible program,” said Stephanie Trump, who has helped grow Miami into one of the largest I Have a Dream regions in the country. The Trump family launched the Miami-Dade chapter of the foundation in 1995.

This year’s gala, held near the iconic Miami Beach Resort, raised more than $850,000 for the Foundation.
