Dreams from Drake is a volunteer organization; funds generated from the foundation will be used to provided children and teens who recently lost a sibling or parent with various forms of community and social support. Dreams from Drake is a recognized 501(c)(3) under the Finger Lakes Area Community Endowment (FLACE) program. The mission of Dreams from Drake is to provide local children and teens with various forms of support needed to move forward while experiencing the confusion and grief associated with the loss of a sibling or parent. The foundation's hope is to make an incredibly difficult and painful time somewhat more bearable by providing these children and their families with resources needed to ensure that they go on to live healthy, happy and productive lives. Dreams from Drake focuses on the spirit of giving to and caring for others, and believes in the motto "sharing is caring". Drake Ross Pettit was born on June 1, 2008. Drake loved playing and sharing his toys with everyone! He loved pirates, and really liked the show Jake and the Neverland Pirates. In fact, for Drake's fourth birthday party, he wanted it to be a pirate theme. His house was decorated with all-things pirate - treasury chests and treasury hunts, planks, and more! The kids decorated pirate faces and got to wear pirate "earrings", too! There was a pirate piñata full of candy for everyone to share, because as Drake always said, "Sharing is caring." If you would like to make a donation to the foundation, please send cash or make checks payable to Dreams from Drake and mail to 26 Golden Pond Trail, Spencerport, NY, 14559 or via the website.
