WITNESS TO A DREAM FOUNDATION: WTAD Foundation enables inner city, at-risk, public school children to meet adult mentors willing to put forth the time and effort to inspire them to greatness. Mentors are provided with tools from the WTAD Mentoring System™, which enables them to be part of this community solution that encourages students to live and succeed in a life beyond the inner city. Children are given all the reasons and tools they will ever need to stay in school, avoid teen pregnancy, discover their biggest dream, identify a career path and graduate from high school. www.witnesstoadream.org/
TERRY BRAND BOOK SCHOLARSHIP: Terry Brand was an inspiring mentor to many and a board member for Witness To A Dream. A kind and generous man, Terry enjoyed teaching and caring for others. Terry passed away on March 17th, 2010, but his memory lives on with this scholarship. For most students, paying for schoolbooks can be very costly and sometimes impossible. The Terry Brand Scholarship provides the recipient with every book they need throughout their college education.
