Braden Believes In Dreams is a Non-profit community organization dedicated to providing scholarships to people looking to pursue further education in arts and/or technology. We also provide community outreach and education on vaccine preventable illnesses and literacy education.
Braden Believes In Dreams is dedicated to continuing Braden's passions for arts and technology by offering scholarships to others with similar passions to explore their dreams. We believe that early literacy education promotes continued education and provides our youth a foundation to pursue anything. Furthermore, we seek to provide community outreach and education on vaccine preventable illnesses such as Covid-19 so no family must experience the trauma of loss and illness from something that can now be prevented.

Braden always had a passion for art since he was a young boy. As he grew he evolved his artistic passions to include digital arts and film-making. He also enjoyed computers and programming and was on the verge of learning all that technology could offer.
Braden was a compassionate young soul who encouraged everyone he encountered to be happy and try for what they wanted. He BELIEVED in DREAMS and we are here to keep his visions of love, hope, and happiness alive.
