Note: Our regular Drop In Dream Parties are taking a break for the summer. We will be hosting a few “Pop Up” Dream Parties throughout the summer, so stay tuned to our social media channels for more details!


DROP IN DREAM PARTIES - ONLINE!

The Dream Factory is all about creating more fun memories for kids battling life-threatening illnesses here in Manitoba. Even though things are uncertain right now, it's important that we keep doing our part to bring smiles to the faces of kids fighting some tough battles here in our community.

That's why from March to June, we hosted virtual Drop In Dream Parties for our Dream Kids and families, and all other families in our community who want to participate. We are partnering with our friends at Heather's Pretty Parties, along with many familiar faces from throughout our community to host half an hour of fun, twice a week, for the next little while!

Join us online for a variety of activities. It could be story time, a sing-a-long, a simple craft, or show and tell! We'll always share what we have coming up, and who our special guest will be!

There's no need to RSVP - just drop in! Come by whenever you and your family could use a little boost of fun!

All of our sessions will be hosted online via ZOOM! It's very easy to use, and the link will be available on our website and social media channels. If you need any help getting set up, don't hesitate to contact Andrew or Karly and we'd be happy to help!


special guests:

Are you a local musician, magician, artist, crafter, or entertainer and interested in hosting one of our Drop In Dream Parties?

As our Special Guest, we would love for you to host an activity that is between 30-45 minutes in length. It can be reading a story, hosting a sing-a-long, teaching a simple craft or skill, or something completely different. We are excited to have a variety of guests and activities at our parties, and the only rule is that we create some fun moments for our Dream Kids and their families! 

Thank you for being a part of our Drop In Dream Parties, and for helping us create more special moments and memories for kids in our community fighting some very tough battles during a very uncertain time. Your small gesture means the world to us and the families we are so lucky to work with.
