DREAMS DO COME TRUE
Dear Friends,
We are deeply honored to serve as Honorary Chairs for this year’s ISF Gala, Dreams Do Come True. The mission of ISF moves us profoundly: to rewrite the story for youth aging out of foster care, where only 3% typically earn a college degree, yet over 80% of ISF-supported students do. That’s not just a statistic, it’s a testament to transformation.
The 2025 ISF Gala is more than a celebration. It’s a call to action. Through scholarships, mentorship, and leadership development, ISF empowers extraordinary young people with the tools, resilience, and community they need to thrive—and to make their dreams a reality.
Together, we have the power to amplify ISF’s impact. By supporting these students, we’re not just breaking cycles, we’re building futures. These young leaders are stepping into their potential, and with our collective support, they’re shaping a brighter tomorrow.
We are deeply grateful for your presence tonight and for the generosity that fuels this life-changing work.
With heartfelt appreciation, Chris & Lauryn MacFarland Honorary Chairs, ISF Gala 2025
