The "Dare to Dream -- Expect to Succeed" program, which grew out of President & CEO Joe Galluccio's passion to help students maximize their abilities through a solid education, shows children the value of visualizing their dreams, setting goals, sharing their hopes, and having the self-confidence to communicate their vision. The program provides benefits to the school, classroom, and individual students through the scholarship program, and the donation of personal computers and educational software. Students were asked to communicate a personal dream and how they expect to reach their dream. Parents were asked to describe how they would enable their child's efforts and support those efforts in realizing their unique dream. Students and parents were encouraged to use any medium of their choice to creatively present their vision. BrainstormUSA awarded personal computers and software to six students: For Q1, Riosin Liew, Lauren Cook and Atharra Chandrakant Sontakke and for Q2, Faith Dowling, Alana Bradley and Elizabeth Millard. Our runners-up, wining a software bundle, are Nabeeha Ahmad, Jacob Yeskis, Noble Chevalier, Teresa Lieselte Chin and Eliea Mitchell-Butler for Q1.
