Dream On 3
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT TAKEOVER: What do you get when you mix one of the most decorated gymnasts in world history (a total of 32 medals to her name) with a wildly caring, compassionate and kind 13-year-old who is also dedicated to gymnastics and battles the daily challenges of anxiety? …An unforgettable, life-changing Dream come true! @SimoneBiles helped us make a dream come true for Lucy from Windsor, CO.
Lucy, who has always loved Simone Biles, was watching closely during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Much like the rest of the world, she was shocked to see Simone drop out of the competition due to the immense amount of stress she was experiencing. This aspiring gymnast was blown away by the decision and Lucy became even more captivated by Simone’s courage and strength.
“Lucy is a phenomenal kid and this experience truly changed the trajectory of her life, how she processes things, and views the world. Now, she just thinks WWSD - “What Would Simone Do?” - Noelle, DO3 Team Member
Simone was scheduled to spend only one hour with Lucy due to her busy schedule however, this turned into almost FIVE hours together because the two had such a connection!
They talked about gymnastics, middle school memories, their love of Tajin seasoning, and Simone even asked Lucy for opinions on wedding decisions for her upcoming ceremony! Simone graciously opened herself up to Lucy, inviting her to meet her dog and her fiancé, Texans Safety, Jonathan Owens (@jowens_3).

DREAM ON 3
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT TAKEOVER: Our Dream Recipients and their families receive the full, red carpet, VIP treatment once the big day has arrived. This includes a “Dream Reveal” where we surprise our Dreamer and share the exciting news that their sports dream will be coming true! The bigger the reveal, the better! These are customized to include family, friends, peers and classmates and sometimes entire schools or communities in the celebration.
In this video, you’ll see an ENTIRE SCHOOL rally around Ethan, a Dreamer who is living with cerebral palsy.
Ethan’s sports dream is to attend a @georgiafootball game. What’s next from here?
🏈 THE BIG DAY - Dream Day! This special celebration includes a sendoff worthy of confetti, banners, police escorts, gifts and many more surprises before we whisk him away to his 5-Star weekend with UGA Football. The best part is, we keep Dream Experience dates a big secret, making the surprise so much more exciting!

Move For Jenn
COMMNUITY SPOTLIGHT TAKEOVER: We are so honored to be able to give the gift of movement. Our motto is, “Move Because You Can!” In this video you’ll see Connie (@conniebraaps), one of our grant recipients, enjoy pain-free movement for the first time in years.
As we mentioned in the first post, July is Sarcoma Awareness Month. Did you know that sarcoma is often called the “forgotten cancer” due to its rarity? Sarcoma receives little funding, leaving those diagnosed with limited treatment options.
➡️ You may be wondering, what the heck is sarcoma?! According to the Mayo Clinic, "Sarcoma is the general term for a broad group of cancers that begin in the bones and in the soft (also called connective) tissues (soft tissue sarcoma). Soft tissue sarcoma forms in the tissues that connect, support and surround other body structures. This includes muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons and the lining of your joints.
There are more than 70 types of sarcoma. Treatment for sarcoma varies depending on sarcoma type, location, and other factors."
Stay tuned for more information throughout the day. In the meantime, head to the Move For Jenn website at moveforjenn.org or visit us on IG at @moveforjenn 😃

Webb Custom Kitchen
#meetmeclt takeover: Up next, is a quick lunch date at @webb_custom_kitchen. This place has also been in downtown Gastonia for over 100 years and actually used to be a movie theater. 🎬
When you go in you feel the old charm preserved. I felt like I was walking down a red carpet to a movie premiere. They even have old movie reels on the wall that you can see the frames.
My favorite thing I ate was their cheesy bread appetizer with four kinds of cheese on fresh French crostini. 🧀
