A winter wonderland-style, invitation-only fundraiser helped the Sweet Dream Makers Foundation purchase more than 1,200 beds for children in need by generating $300,000-plus. The fourth annual affair featured delicious food and live music and attracted nearly 300 guests. Neil and Doris Gillman were honored as the 2021 Sweet Dream Makers of the Year. ‘When we tuck our own grandchildren in at night and wish them sweet dreams, we feel so blessed that we’re able to provide children who are less fortunate the safety and security of having a bed of their own, too,’ Doris Gillman said. ‘That’s what every child deserves.’ ABOVE: (l-r, front) Ly Teo, Kelli-Ann McLeod, Diana Khatchikian, Rebecca D’emic and Jessica MacFarland; (back) Karolina Kanner, Alejandra Lippolis, Minelle Tendler and Cari Graber.
