Family and friends gathered at the home of Neil and Doris Gillman to raise money to provide beds for children in need. More than 200 supporters of Sweet Dream Makers turned out for the affair and helped raise $200,000-plus. Since incorporating in 2016, the organization has donated 2,500 beds for youths. Studies show that youths demonstrate significant improvements in academic performance and behavior when they are well-rested.
