      OUR MISSION

      We envision a world in which young adults dream big with the goal of bettering their communities.

      The Dream Project helps young adults grow into leaders within their communities through service and philanthropy. In practice, that means cross-country fundraising and volunteering trips to support the work of charitable organizations. We bridge the gap between nonprofits doing great work and young adults who want to give back to the communities around them.

       

      In doing so, The Dream Project sets our riders up for a lifetime of prioritizing civic engagement, volunteerism, and philanthropy that lasts long after they get off their bikes.

       

       

      It started with a dream.

      In 2013, a group of five college students from Rutgers University set out to raise awareness for the plight of pediatric cancer patients. To pursue this goal, they biked 1,615 miles from New Brunswick, New Jersey to Disney World in Orlando, Florida over the course of one month that summer. With the help of sponsors, friends, and family the riders were able to make their crazy, seemingly impossible idea a reality. The group, referred to as Dream4TK, was a completely student-run grassroots initiative that hoped to continue inspiring others as their passion for helping others continued to live past their inaugural trip.

       

      Dream4TK has evolved into The Dream Project thanks to the continued dedication of one of those first riders, Gabrielle Rossi.

      The theme of today is: Blessings.  The short, yet crazy ride from our sleep spot in Hillside to our volunteer location in Newark, definitely felt like the biggest challenge yet.
