A nonprofit organization associated with The Madison Square Garden Company, the Garden of Dreams Foundation provides positive experiences for children facing obstacles such as illness or extreme poverty. In doing so, it offers three of the following signature programs.
1. Talent Show - Since launching in 2006, the foundation has hosted its annual Talent Show at Radio City Music Hall, where over 100 children from partner organizations are given the chance to perform on the Great Stage.
2. Garden of Dreams Week - Held during the last week of November, the Garden of Dreams Week allows children the chance to become honorary members of the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers, as well as receive choreography lessons from the Rockettes dance team.
3. Prom - The Garden of Dreams Prom is hosted at Madison Square Garden each spring for young people ages 14-18. As many as 50 teenagers from the foundation's community-based partners host 50 teenagers from its hospital partners. Attendees receive star treatment throughout the day as well as the opportunity to meet celebrity guests.
