A DREAM COME TRUE

The Dreamland hosted its annual fundraiser, the DreamBIG Event, July 23 at a private estate in Tom Nevers. This year, the event had a record number of supporters in attendance and was themed around a 1960s Slim Aarons- inspired Palm Springs pool party. During the fundraiser, the Dreamland recognized two DreamBIG honorees, Charley Polachi and Debbie Lewis, for their outstanding contributions to the organization and presented the inaugural Fred Rogers Good Neighbor Award to Dr. Timothy Lepore. To celebrate, guests danced the night away between bites from Island Kitchen. Proceeds from the evening directly support the Dreamland’s mission to build community on Nantucket year-round through shared experiences in film, the arts, live theater, culture and learning.
