“Our goal is to provide students with in-depth knowledge about the various careers behind the scenes in the sports and entertainment industries,” said Diane McGraw, a long-time leader in the sports and events industry, and the founder of The Dare to Dream Experience. “We want to show students how to pursue and succeed in these careers, meeting some of the leading industry executives who were once in their shoes and help young people get on the way to the career of their dreams.”
Since its inception in 2004, The Dare to Dream Experience has impacted thousands of students who have attended the program, in cities including Louisville and Philadelphia, funded by the U.S. Department of Education and national corporate brands, including Comcast, 7-11, Subway, KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.
“There is a tremendous current need for The Dare to Dream Experience, especially with the difficulties facing at-risk youth and the problems the hospitality and events industries are having with staffing,” McGraw noted. “Our goal is to help students visualize their future, motivate them to finish high school and strive for advanced education and careers. There are many opportunities in these industries, but students need to understand that those opportunities are only available for them if they apply themselves and stay motivated. Through our industry and corporate partners, organizers will also provide free access to at-risk and disadvantaged youth.”
