residents in nursing and personal care homes are often a forgotten population. They face the loss of their independence, health, livelihood, or a loved one when entering long-term care. They often have no one or very few family members who visit on a regular basis. In 2016 Don't Stop Dreamin' sponsored excursions for residents from 10 Quality Life Services nursing homes to attend a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. Over 125 residents and staff enjoyed a night out at the ballpark. Many residents never had the opportunity to see in person a professional baseball game. They all had a wonderful time in spite of their physical limitations and cherished the memory of this special event. I spoke to many of the residents and they were overwhelmed by the generosity of Don't Stop Dreamin' to sponsor this Group DreAM. They dressed in their PIrates' gear and cheered on the Bucs to win. The photos from all of the homes bring tears of joy when you see such enthusiasm. I support Don't Stop Dreamin' for sponsoring the Pirate's DreAMS and also the numerous individual DreAMS throughout the year. Life changing experiences that bring everlasting memories.
