Founder |
|
|
|
|
|
In
1980,
Charles
Henault
founded
the
Dream Factory,
Inc., in
|
|
|
Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Charles was a South Central Bell employee,
|
|
|
who wanted to create a
volunteer organization dedicated to granting the |
|
|
dreams of children with
life-threatening illnesses. |
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, there are more than 32 chapters across the United
States with |
|
|
over 5,000
volunteers who work to produce and deliver
dreams, visit |
|
|
children and their families
in the hospital and their homes, arrange special |
|
|
celebrations and conduct fundraising events for individual
children. |
|
|
This volunteer
support ensures that the maximum percentage of all
|
|
|
donations are
used for the procurement and distribution of dreams.
