After Dark 2022 Livin The Dream’s activities at the Lou Ramos Center resume Saturday, February 26th.
Testimonial
“Livin The Dream has quickly become a safe haven for young athletes and others to spend Friday and Saturday evenings in a fun environment that combines play and interaction with students from other schools as well as adults. It has become a center where students from different and diverse school districts, communities, ethnic groups, and socioeconomic status meet in a healthy situation and share ideas and values.”
– Doug Snyder, William Allen Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach

Success Stories
During an After Dark program, we spoke with some school athletes. After listening to our halftime speech, they shared that they had been on their way to a party in Philadelphia. They ended up not going to the party because of our event.
We developed a trusting relationship with a student that translated into helping this young man receive his driver’s license. We were able to offer him a place to practice, and teaching that would ultimately help him pass his driver’s test.
Kids came into our Saturday night event ready to quit their HS soccer team, and after hearing our halftime speech that night, they left with a renewed determination to stick it out and play this season through.
