Dream Big!
The mission of Dream Big! is to help girls from low-income situations achieve their dreams by providing them with the basic items and fees necessary to enable them to participate in sports and physical activities that contribute to their health, education and overall well-being. Dream Big! has been one of the biggest supporters of the Boston Showstoppers program since 2010.
Dream Big! has fulfilled requests for assistance for both individual girls, and program-wide initiatives that have served all of our girls in need. Supporting our efforts to participate in college showcase tournament events that provide student-athletes national exposure to hundreds of college and universities each year, has directly resulted in upwards of 50 % of our student-athletes receiving scholarship offers to play basket ball at the collegiate level.
