Dreams Take Flight Atlantic 2012

This local Recycler Company came onboard with us a few years back and have been a joy to work with. Mr. Ross and his Son’s have graciously helped us gather much needed donations over the past few years that have put many a smile on so many Children.From the first day we approached them for their support they have been amazing Sponsors to work with. Without a bat of an eye their support to anything we need or anything they could do to help make the day even more special for the children, they dive in without a second thought.The Family Values that the Ross’s possess fit right in perfect with our Dreams Take Flight Charity. Giving unconditionaly to others that are in need of a Magical Moment ,these Folks are there no questions asked.

We at Dreams Take Flight Atlantic would like to Thank the Wonderful People at John Ross and Son’s Ltd for their continued support of our Charity for without great Sponsors we could not be able to put on a Flight that takes 140 plus Children on a one day Magical Adventure to Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida.

You can visit John Ross & Son’s Ltd. in Bayers Lake Park and have your recycleables donated to Dreams Take Flight.

Special Thanks to John Ross and Son’s Ltd. from the Dreams Take Flight Atlantic Committee.

Clearwater has been a Corporate Sponsor for many years now and their donations of Money and Seafood Product have helped us imensely in providing a Special Day for so many Atlantic Canadian Children over the years.

Clearwater donates a Seafood Prize every year to our Annual Lottery and also to any other fundraisers we may have need of a donation for. The Seafood Prize is a huge hit with many of our ticket buyers and helps us raise a considerable amount of cash along with the other prizes.

Clearwater also plays an important part by covering the cost of the Crystal Palace Meal the Children get to experience while they are in Disney World. The Disney Characters come around for photo Ops and Autographs during the Lunch break and the smiles that this place on the Children’s faces is unmeasurable. Even the Adults get in on the fun as they drift back to their childhood days for a moment.

The Children also get to have a much healthier selection of food because of this donation as well.I am sure it is one of the many highlites throughout the day for the Children that come on our flight.

We at Dreams Take Flight Atlantic would like to Thank Clearwater for their many years of partnership with our Charity and we hope to have them onboard for many more to come.

The Donations made by Clearwater in the past and in the present will go along way into helping us Make Magical Memories for so many Special Atlantic Canadian Children that we hope you help us Support them when looking to make your next Seafood Purchase knowing that they are huge supporters in the community when called upon.

Atlantic Subaru Dealers

Subaru has been a Major Sponsor for Our Dreams Take Flight Atlantic Chapter and their support to us has been amazing. With our 4th Lottery Fundraiser underway, the Donation of a 4th Brand New Subaru Vehicle once again has our Ticket sales flying along.

Since Subaru joined us as a Major Sponsor back in 2009, the fundraising has been growing three-fold. This is extremely important to us as the cost of putting on a Dream Flight is also growing, fuel alone cost us $40,000.00 last year for our 17th flight and is sure to rise again this year.

Our total costs range in the $120,000.00- $140,000.00 depending on the fuel costs at the time of flight. The children are outfitted from head to toe, all meals for the whole day, the hotel stay for the outstations, Disney Tickets, and everything else associated in making the most Special Day for the Children possible is covered by Fundraising. The partnership with Subaru and all of our other Corporate Sponsors make this all worth while for without them it would not be possible.

At Dreams Take Flight Atlantic we would like to give Special Praises for The Atlantic Subaru Dealers, also a Special Thanks to Mr. Paynter Atlantic Canada Manager, Steele Auto Group, Halifax Subaru & Capital Subaru of St. John’s, NewfoundLand for all of their support.

The Donation of a car at no cost to our charity has allowed us to take more children each year and provide each child with a day they will never forget and will last them a lifetime.

We are Very Thankful to All Our Friends at Subaru for their efforts in Helping Us Make Magical Memories for so many Atlantic Canadian Children.

To have a Sponsor such as Subaru Support our Charity in the ways that they have, show that there are still some Companies out there that respect, Family Values and really do want to make a difference in their community.

If you drive by a Subaru Dealer in Atlantic Canada, pop in and say hi, they have a Great Line-up, very safe and fun to drive all wheel drive Cars and SUV’s. All of our lottery winners love their Subaru’s especially the extra traction and control needed for the winter months.

Thank You Again Subaru for Helping Us Make Magical Memories for Atlantic Canadian Children.
