Big Dreams.
Real Support.

We help local students and families reach for more, through scholarships that open doors and a year-end toy drive that brings joy to those who need it most.

Who We Are

Here for our community.

Ready Set Dream Big Community Outreach is here to support our community in whatever way it needs. Over the years that has meant tutoring students, volunteering at a local women's shelter, supporting families in crisis, and more. Two of the things we do every year, our holiday toy drive and our scholarship gala, have become the heart of that work.

What We Do

Two of the things we do every year.

Our holiday toy drive and our scholarship gala are the heart of our calendar, but they're part of a bigger commitment to showing up for our community all year long.

The Scholarship Gala

Our signature annual fundraiser, the Women Who Make It Happen Gala, funds scholarships for students and adults pursuing their education and their dreams.

The Year-End Toy Drive

Every holiday season, we make sure local children feel remembered, gifting 500+ families with new toys and a little extra joy during a time that can be hard.

Tutoring

Women's Shelter Support

And More, Year-Round

Wherever our community needs a hand, we look for ways to show up and help.
