Always Dream Foundation

Olympic Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi founded the Always Dream Foundation in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1996 to inspire underserved children to reach for their dreams through innovative reading programs and by advancing the cause of early childhood literacy. ADF's Always Reading literacy program combines technology with books to raise literacy skills and increase overall academic success and life potential. It also inspires children to "dream big" by engaging families with community events highlighting the importance of early childhood literacy. In May, Kristi and her Always Dream Foundation is partnering with the Honolulu Book and Music Festival.
