The 2010 Dreamcatcher Program is a great chance for not-for-profit disability organisations to win one of three custom engineering solutions for a representative of their organisation and participate in this unique program making a difference across the WA community.
The Dreamfit Foundation operates annual programs collaborating with industry, academia, government and the community with the common goal of fulfilling dreams and overcoming the challenges and frustrations of people with disabilities.
In 2009, Dreamfit ran its first Dreamcatcher engineering competition with over 250 university students competing to design the best solution for 9 year old Perth Boy, Josiah Kappert, whose Dream was to ride a bicycle.
This wasn’t possible with a conventional bicycle as Josiah was born with no arms. Through the competition, Josiah was able to test not one, but six custom built bicycles, from which he chose his favourite to keep.
“The competition was an incredible success for all involved, so in 2010 we are stepping it up a notch and running three separate competitions,” states CEO of the Dreamfit Foundation, Darren Lomman.
“This means we need to find corporate sponsors for the competition to ensure the fulfilment of the selected dreams.”
Partnering corporate sponsors will join in the excitement of these projects, support the development of university students and share the benefits including involvement of their staff and company throughout the community.
Both competition and team sponsorship opportunities are now available. Contact Darren Lomman, CEO of the Dreamfit Foundation on 0413 866 221 or darren@dreamfit.com.au to organise a time to discuss how your organisation can get involved!
