LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2014) - The "I Have A Dream" Foundation is thrilled to receive another major contribution from philanthropist Stanley Tomchin who donated $825,000 to the nonprofit organization. "Stanley is truly an amazing man. His commitment of time and generous funding will change the lives of the students in our program and in turn, will help pave the way for generations of lives being changed," explained Lindsay Harper, Executive Director of the "I Have a Dream" Foundation. "I Have A Dream" was founded in Harlem in 1981 by businessman Eugene Lang, who promised a class of 6th graders to pay college tuition for any student who graduated from high school. Since then, more than two hundred "I Have a Dream" programs have helped students across twenty-nine states to reach their full potential. The program targets low-income communities allowing children, dubbed "Dreamers" by the foundation, to achieve higher education. Tomchin's donation will be used to provide programming for their core philosophy that includes supporting education, leadership, health and mentoring. Over one hundred students benefit from the foundation to achieve their goal of obtaining a college scholarship.
