Dreams come true with help of foundation It began simply.
Addressing a sixth-grade class in 1981 at his alma mater in east Harlem, Eugene Lang, a New York businessman, made an impromptu promise of college scholarships for the entire class if they graduated from high school. That promise has paved the way for scores of underprivileged youth to pursue a college education. I Have a Dream Foundation have risen to Lang's challenge. The University of Colorado at Boulder has been a powerful partner for the Boulder County chapter, which currently serves 146 low-income dreamers and their families. For many dreamers the internship program is their first meaningful supervised work experience.
