About Deliver the Dream:

A not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, Deliver the Dream was founded by Pat Moran, past chairman of JM Family Enterprises, Inc. and one of South Florida’s top business women. After many years of seeing families struggle to stay together as they coped with crisis, Pat dreamed of a program that would allow families facing illness or crisis to alleviate stress, enhance coping skills and enjoy being together again as a family.

In 2002, her realization came true when Deliver the Dream held its first retreat for families who have a parent with cancer. Since then, Deliver the Dream has brought hope and healing to nearly 6,000 family members across the South East United States.
