"LIVE THE DREAM" SPECIALTY LICENSE PLATE
Welcome to the Dream Foundation, Inc.
This is an important year for the Dream Foundation. This year we celebrate the "Live The Dream" license plates 16th year as the nations first specialty plate with the image of Dr. King. Having the plate available in Florida tag offices for motorist to purchase has allowed the Foundation to continue fighting poverty, issues of infant mortality and illness. We also celebrate the renewing of the licensing agreement between the Dream Foundation and the King family for the use of the MLK imgage, writings, speeches, video and etc .
We celebrate the Birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and February Black History month. In doing so, the Dream Foundation will take every opportunity to discuss Kings legacy as it relates to the goals of the Dream Foundation. This began with the keynote speech at the Clay County MLK breakfast, taking place on January 15th, 2018. In 2019, and now in the mist of the global pandemic of 2020.....we've continued reminding Floridians of Dr. Kings legacy, as Florida continues righting wrongs such as restoration of voting rights. There is a story that continues to need to be told in America. In addition to perceptions on the progess of our joint humanity, we tell the story of the Dream Foundation... and how it aims to serve our state through the proceeds provided to our communities from the "Live the Dream" license plate, work of our dedicated programs, and your donations . Please join us around the state.
Blessings
Michael Dobson
