About Us

Making a Difference for Children with Special Needs in Southern Alberta!

At Dreams Take Flight, we believe in stretching children’s minds and expanding their horizons. As poet Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote, “One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”

Dreams Take Flight is a registered national non-profit charity committed to providing the trip-of-a-lifetime to medically, mentally, physically, socially, or emotionally challenged children across Canada.

Since 1993, Dreams Take Flight Calgary has been dedicated to bringing deserving children with special needs from Southern Alberta to a California theme park. In our 31st year, we are thrilled to announce that we will be taking these children to Universal Studios Hollywood.

We raise our funding through various means, including corporate and private donations, charity golf tournaments, and an annual auction event. As a 100% volunteer charity, our dedicated volunteers handle everything from fundraising and flight planning to administration and governance. Air Canada generously donates the aircraft, while the ground crew, flight crew, and other essential services are all provided by volunteers. Even our incredible medical team volunteers their time and expertise!

With your support, we can bring some magic into the lives of these very deserving Southern Alberta children and make their dreams come true.

For an unforgettable and exciting day, these deserving children will embark on an adventure in California at Universal Studios Hollywood, with all expenses paid, thanks to our generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers.

When they return home, their minds will be stretched to new dimensions. They will see new possibilities and carry the memories of this extraordinary experience with them forever.

Thank you for joining us in making a difference for these remarkable children. Together, we can create moments that inspire, empower, and transform lives.
