Our goal is to provide children the opportunity to develop self-worth, educational success, and solid economic potential. We strive to break the cycle of poverty, abuse and neglect and help children to become positive, productive and self-fulfilled members of society with opportunity and hope for the future. We do this by creating positive role models, leading by example, sharing our knowledge, and encouraging others to join us in making a difference.

WHY WE DO iT!
Tackle Your Dreams was started by myself, Nick Ravelingeen, and my late wife, Erin, in early 2012 to support children through the process of determining and realizing their life’s goals.
Being an at-risk child myself, opportunities were slim, hard times were abundant and what never swayed was going at my dreams with extreme focus. Unfortunately, the hurdles were always there and they were overcame, not with money or the easy way, but with amazing people being in my life at the right time with the ability to encourage and guide me. Now it's time to pay it forward! |

"If Ms. (Katie) Bremner could be a teacher at every school, we would have more children in the world willing to tackle challenges head-on, with conviction and the drive to be that much better," said Nick Ravelingeen, Founder of the Tackle Your Dreams Foundation in his application.
Katie was honored at the Chicago Bears game, received a $2,000 grant donation for classroom supplies and was presented with a Bears jersey and Symetra Heroes in the Classroom certificate.
