The cost of playing shouldn’t be the cost of growing up.
But for many families in Lake and Porter County, it is. Cristian’s Dream is here to change that.

Why Cristian’s Dream Exists
Cristian’s Dream was created in honor of Cristian Villarreal, a passionate athlete who believed no child should sit out due to cost.
We're launching a movement where families are supported, youth are equipped, and the community shows up with heart.

About Cristians Dream
Our Background
Cristian's Dream is a non profit dedicated to my son, Cristian Villarreal. He had an amazing passion for baseball, basketball and all different sports! He worked his tail off to try to be the best that he could be, and his drive showed in everything that he did. Our goal is to fundraise through personal donations and business donations, in order to be able to help kids in our community, regardless of the sport. Cristian's life was cut short and this is my way of keeping his name alive, and helping others in his honor. We are so passionate about helping kids find and achieve their dreams, just like my son did! This website will be updated and is still in the beginning stages. Please email or call for donation inquiries.
Thank you for your support!
