Dream Come True of Western Connecticut
Dream Come True of Western Connecticut was founded in 1984. The organizations purpose is to grant wishes to seriously, chronically, and terminally ill children from the areas of Fairfield county, Litchfield county and New Haven county.

Dream Come True is a nonprofit organization that is run by all volunteers. Every dollar and in-kind contribution goes directly to helping children fulfill their dreams and there are no administrative costs.

Our board members and volunteers do most of their work for Dream Come True from their homes because they receive no government funding nor are they a member of United Way. Also, volunteers work year-round helping Dream Come True succeed. Donations, which are tax deductable, come from individuals, service organizations, businesses, and from fund raising events.

The chairman and founder of Dream Come True is Kostas Kalogeropoulos. The founder’s personal dream is to bring joy to children suffering from illness and relief to parents struggling to cope.

Dream Come True is registered with the CT Bureau of Charitable Organizations. They are a tax-exempt organization as provided by IRS regulations. Dream Come True of Western Connecticut has an affiliation with Dream Come True in PA.
