Melmark Dream Maker’s Ball 2026

Thank you for making the Dream Maker’s Ball 2026 a success!

Thank you for your generous support of our 2026 Dream Maker’s Ball. Because of your participation, our 60th Anniversary celebration will stand as the most successful in Melmark’s 60-year history, generating more than $1.2 million in support of the individuals and families we serve. What an extraordinary reflection of the compassion, commitment, and community that surrounds Melmark—a true celebration of 60 years of Mission-First services.

The Dream Maker’s Ball itself raised more than $700,000 that evening. Combined with the announcement of an extraordinarily generous $500,000 commitment from long-time friend and Melmark family member Fred Modell, the total impact surrounding the 60th anniversary celebration exceeded $1.2 million. With his commitment, we are honored to establish the Modell Training and Professional Development Center in honor of Lori, Vicki, Jeffrey, and Fred Modell, helping to advance Melmark’s work in applied research for years to come.

Most importantly, these funds will directly support the people, programs, services, and innovative initiatives that help individuals at Melmark lead fuller, more independent lives. Your presence and support truly make a difference.
