"Together, we make dreams come true for children and young adults living with life-threatening illnesses"
We are a non-profit foundation that helps children and young adults living with life-threatening illnesses stay positive, maintain hope, and appreciate each and every day, regardless of their affliction. We achieve this by providing rich and rewarding, #DREAMDAY experiences. A #DREAMDAY can include meet n’ greets with their favorite heroes, VIP access to concerts and special events, hanging out behind the scenes, hospital visits, surprise gifts, and most importantly, lasting memories that our guests and their families will treasure forever. We work hand-in-hand with the music, sports, entertainment, and social media industries to create unique and impactful experiences for our guests. Our goal is to help them understand and embrace the powerful message of truly “living the dream” each day.

A true Day 1 fan, AJ has been rocking with @turnstile since they were playing small clubs. For his Dream Day, he wanted to see them headline Welcome To Rockville.
Since 2019, AJ has battled cancer and countless medical complications, despite being on chemo and radiation all these years he still finds the strength to keep fighting for the things he loves most like live music.
AJ got to meet and hang out with the band backstage, watch their set side stage, and had the unforgettable moment of appearing on stage during “DULL.” ☎️
Thank you to Turnstile and their crew for going above and beyond to make his dream come true.

“Thank you Randy… for seeing me.” 🖤
Meet Jessyca, a single mother courageously battling Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Despite living with pain every day, she fights for her son and family. For her Dream Day at Welcome To Rockville, she got to hang backstage with @lambofgodofficial's Randy Blythe.
After hearing that both Jessyca and Kody shaved their heads together when she began chemotherapy, Randy offered to let Jessyca shave his head in solidarity - a moment they will never forget.
To end the night she hung out side stage, where Randy gave a heartfelt shoutout and led the crowd in a powerful chant of “F*CK CANCER” in her honor.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this Dream Day possible.

Meet Jessica, @VansWarpedTour's Dream Day guest who’s bravely battling Stage 4 Breast Cancer.
Her weekend kicked off hanging backstage with @mgk where they had meaningful one-on-one time as she shared how his music has helped her through the toughest parts of her diagnosis.
She also met her longtime favorites, @adaytoremember who gifted her signed merch, guitar picks, and even invited her on stage during their set to throw toilet paper into the crowd.
She got the true VIP treatment hanging with @MODSUN, @jeffreestar, and even the king of Warped Tour himself, Kevin Lyman. When she met Jeffree, he was so moved by her strength that he gifted her an unlimited shopping spree at Jeffree Star Cosmetics.💄
Warped Tour has always been about community and showing up for one another. Thank you to everyone who helped make this once-in-a-lifetime Dream Day happen for Jessica. Sending endless love to her and Nikolas. Lace up. 🖤

Just days before Maverick received his Leukemia diagnosis, he insisted on seeing his favorite band @FallingInReverse on their Popular MonsTOUR. That night became one of his last moments before everything in his life changed. Since then, Ronnie’s music has been his anchor as he goes through his cancer treatment.
When Ronnie learned about his story, he invited him to be his special guest at @VansWarpedTour. Maverick got to hang out backstage with him, get his autograph, and even got to end Falling In Reverse’s headlining set by joining the band ON STAGE to say goodnight. At the end of his Dream Day Maverick said, “That’s my friend now.”
Thank you Ronnie for making Maverick the star of the night and feel so special. It was a dream come true. 🖤
