For nearly 15 years, the Nancy Lieberman Charities Dream Ball Gala has celebrated hope, opportunity, and the extraordinary potential of underserved youth. As we prepare to celebrate this milestone, we are launching a campaign to raise $150,000 to send 15 deserving high school seniors to college.

Every year at our Dream Ball Gala, scholarship recipients are honored on stage in front of community leaders, athletes, entertainers, and supporters who believe in the power of education to change lives. These students are more than scholarship recipients — they are future teachers, entrepreneurs, doctors, coaches, engineers, and leaders who simply need the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

To date, Nancy Lieberman Charities has proudly sent 130 seniors to college with a 100% graduation success rate. In 2026, we want to reach a major milestone: 145 students whose futures have been forever changed through education.

Traditionally, we award scholarships to 10 students each year. But this year is different.

This year marks 15 years of impact, and we are asking our community to help us go bigger by funding scholarships for 15 students instead of 10 — one student for every year of Dream Ball’s legacy.

Nancy Lieberman Charities focuses on improving outcomes for underserved youth in the areas of education, mental health & wellness, and career/life preparedness. Through scholarships, Dream Courts™, basketball camps, mentorship programs, STEM and technology initiatives, HBCU partnerships, and programs focused on racial and social justice, we strive to empower young people with the tools, confidence, and support they need to succeed.

When you give, you are not just helping pay tuition.

You are investing in confidence.

You are investing in leadership.

You are investing in a future filled with possibility.

Whether you donate $15, $150, or $1,500, every contribution helps us move closer to our goal and closer to changing a life forever.

Join us in celebrating 15 years of impact by helping 15 students take the next step toward their dreams.

Together, we can make 2026 our most meaningful year yet.
