The Idea

Wand-waving fairy godmothers and wish-granting genies may only exist in children’s tales, but kind-hearted individuals who want to make dreams come true do exist in reality, and in Los Angeles!

The Specifics

GGG was founded by Laurie Green after learning her friend was suffering with Locked-In Syndrome, unable to walk or talk. Laurie set out to improve his quality of life by raising funds to make possible some of the daily basics in life we so often take for granted. But when GGG also arranged for this former high school baseball champion to watch his two young children throw out the first pitch at Dodgers Stadium, it was her friend’s joy from this “dream day” that set the course of the charity’s future. GGG has not stopped with one individual; instead it has evolved and expanded into a non-profit organization whose mission is to help spread joy by giving individuals with severe disabilities the chance to receive their very own Dream Day.
