"The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk their position, their prestige and even their life for the welfare of others. In dangerous valleys and hazardous pathways, they will lift some bruised and beaten brother to a higher and more noble life."

~ Martin Luther King Jr

Established in honor of Father Wally Brennan to assist the commitment of continuing the education of inner city youth. Father Wally spent 25 years, walking the streets, alone, at night in the neighborhood of the West Side of Chicago and on a daily basis, cared for the poorest of families. Today we carry on his work in his name.

Fr. Wally Brennan was a friend and Advisory Board member of Dreams for Kids since the beginning of our organization. Father Wally had a deep and profound effect on us and we arecommitted to his legacy of giving.
