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.

Cristian Villarreal Loved the game. His Passion lit up baseball diamonds, boxing rings, and basketball courts. After his passing, we knew his dream couldn't end here.
Today, that dream lives on - by helping children who, like Cristian wanted to help, just need a chance.

"1 in 3 kids can't afford to play youth sports.
" Every Glove, Ball, and story passed on shapes the future were building.
This isn't just a number - it's a reality playing out in communities like ours every day. Kids are sitting on the sidelines, not because they lack passion, but because they lake access. Cristian's Dream exists to change that, one story, one opportunity, and one child at a time

Begin With Heart
Cristian’s Dream isn’t just about gear, games, or goals — it’s about giving every child the chance to be seen, supported, and set free to chase what lights them up inside.
This movement started with one boy’s dream and now grows with each person who chooses to believe in something bigger. Whether you give, share, or simply show up — you’re part of this.
Together, we begin with heart. And from here, we build futures.
Lets always Keep the boys & girls upfront in all we do!
