 NANCY LIEBERMAN FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES THIRD ANNUAL BAYLOR JACK AND JANE HAMILTON HOSPITAL DREAM BALL PRESENTED BY WORLDVENTURES FOUNDATION AND ALBERTSONS

The Dream Ball Brings Sport Celebrities Together to Support Athletic and Educational Opportunities for Youth

DALLAS, TX (MARCH X, 2014) – The Nancy Lieberman Foundation promotes athletic and educational programming for youth at its third annual Dream Ball charity event at the Omni Hotel in Dallas on Thursday, April 17, 2014. Lead sports anchor for TXA 21, Steve Dennis, will welcome VIP guest at a red carpet event beginning at 6:00pm.

Guests will enjoy dinner and conversation with numerous sports celebrities from across the country as they support the educational and basketball scholarships, backpacks and laptop programs, and DreamCourts that are pivotal in empowering children to realize and achieve their dreams.

 “Thanks to the funds raised at our annual gala, hundreds of children have the opportunities to achieve their dreams and contribute to their communities,” said Nancy Lieberman, Founder of the Nancy Lieberman Foundation.

“Not every child has the same opportunities in life. We are committed to providing deserving youth with the resources they need to lead promising lives. This is possible through the generous support of our communities and I am delighted to have the support from so many corporate partners, community business leaders, and friends that allow us to impact the next generation and ensure they have the tools to succeed on the court and in the classroom.”

The Nancy Lieberman Foundation will recognize and honor world record holder and legendary swimmer Diana Nyad as the Inspirational Award recipient at this Dream Ball. Diana will speak at the event and share her story of courage and perseverance.

Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Hospital have been proud to serve as the title sponsor of the Nancy Lieberman Foundation gala for the past three years. “We’re honored to be a part of the Foundation’s important work to transform children’s lives through education and basketball,” said Nancy Vish, President/Chief Nursing Officer at Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Hospital. “We’re proud to partner with organizations that invest in programs which help children develop the life skills they need to be successful and where children are given the tools of hope, and the opportunity to thrive”

In partnership with presenting sponsor WorldVentures Foundation, The Nancy Lieberman Foundation has partnered with the NCAA in providing funding to build a 10^th DreamCourt for the Boys and Girls Club in Arlington before the weekend of the Final Four. DreamCourts provide children in underprivileged communities a tremendous opportunity to enjoy basketball, interact socially, and learn important lessons about teamwork and good sportsmanship within a safe environment.

A few key notes about the Dream Ball: Sir Earl Toon from the hit musical group Kool & the Gang will be performing the hit song “Celebration” at the Ball. Del Harris, General Manager of the Texas Legends and his wife Ann will serve as Dream Ball Host Co-Chairs. Some of the celebrities who will be in attendance for this gala even include six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals, Rick Carlisle, Head Coach of the Dallas Mavericks, Donnie Nelson, President and GM of Basketball Operations for the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys legends Deion Sanders, Tony Casillas, and Charley Haley, Dallas Stars alums Craig Ludwig and Marty Turco, and 2 time World Series champion and 7-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens.

Nancy Lieberman will be recognized as the 2014 Naismith Outstanding Contributor to Women’s College Basketball award winner at the Naismith Trophy Welcome Brunch on April 6, 2014, at the men’s Final Four in North Texas. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame became the new host of the Nancy Lieberman Award which will also be awarded that weekend to the top point guard in women’s NCAA Division I college basketball.
