Acqualina is committed to the community in which we operate and in 1995 founded the Miami Chapter of the I Have a Dream Foundation. The Foundation empowers children in low-income communities to achieve higher education and fulfill their leadership potential by providing them with the skills, knowledge, and habits they need to gain entry to higher education and succeed in college and beyond.

Each year, the principal owners of Acqualina, Stephanie, Jules and Eddie Trump (no relation to the former US president), host a major charitable gala where South Florida philanthropists join our Dreamers for a magical evening filled with dreams and opportunities ready to come true. The Miami Gala will be held on Wednesday, November 12 and will celebrate the Class of 2032, who began on their academic journey with the “I Have a Dream” Miami program as second graders. This year marks a remarkable milestone as the Gala celebrates its 30th anniversary—a testament to the Foundation’s enduring impact and the unwavering commitment of the Trump family and community supporters. The evening promises to be especially meaningful, honoring three decades of transforming lives through education, inspiration, and opportunity, and showcasing the powerful legacy of the Dreamers who have gone on to achieve extraordinary success.

The I Have a Dream Foundation guarantees the Dreamers with an academic tuition at a Florida state university for a 4-year degree or at an accredited trade school. The program adopts an entire class of Dreamers from early elementary school in an economically disadvantage neighborhood.
