The Dreams of Gold Choir Olympic Campaign Planning Team


The Dreams of Gold Campaign would have not been a major success had it not been for the people in this community who believed in the dream and joined in to help it become reality. On the behalf of Unity Performing Arts Foundation and the founder and CEO, we truly thank all of the people who committed time, finances, energy, and skills to the success of this great and historical project.

This project brought together an extremely diverse group of people from many different racial, economic, occupational, social and gender type backgrounds. I’m proud to say as the leader of this great organization and choir we are bringing people together in this city for the first time to help raise the value and standard in our city. Fort Wayne will never be the same because of the Dreams of Gold Choir Olympic Campaign. Now we have a World Champion Icon in our great city, The Voices of Unity USA Choir Olympic Team.

Thank you all and God bless you for everything you’ve done to make this dream come true for these kids.
