Never Dream Less Foundations 2nd Annual Reality Check
<p>Never Dream less Foundations is a youth program dedicated to teaching kids to have organic fun without the use of electronics and learning social skills. The kids are able to use dance and arts to express themselves and we teach the kid to have organic fun with old school games with a twist. We try to build the kids up to bring out their confidence and build leadership skills. The Reality Check is a way to award the kids for their hard work and dedication, the kids grow in our program to be mentors, some have choreographed our dance routines, and many have just overcome their own struggles and so much more. There hard work has not gone unnoticed, and we want them to know that. The Reality Check will have many guest speakers and entertainers. We have also invited other community leaders and other programs to give awards to kids they believe should be recognized as well. This year's Reality Checks theme is mental Awareness, we have invited different professionals to speak on the matter and also some of the kids will share their experiences. </p> 2023-09-12 15:00:00 -050010/14/23 @ 11:30 a.m.Cedar Rapids Public Library (Whipple Auditorium)Cedar Rapids, Iowa -
