2017 dreams for kids dc holiday celebration - our third annual. Throughout the year, dreams for kids dc provides a wide variety of adaptive clinics for children with physical and developmental disabilities from waterskiing and football to cooking and prom. The dfkdc holiday celebration is more than a seasonal party; it is our culminating year-end event that gives our participants (the beneficiaries of our free dfkdc clinics) the opportunity to pay-compassion-forward. Participants engage in a variety of philanthropic activities at the holiday celebration including: wrapping presents for underprivileged children; decorating desserts for homeless shelters; making holiday cards for veterans, and more. The dfkdc holiday celebration is a time for fun and philanthropy, and a reminder that their disabilities will not hold them back from reaching their potential.
