A bit of history on Island Dreams:
Island Dreams Sketchcards
In 1999, WLRA and Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois partnered together in order to raise money for the hospital's Family Assistance Fund. The Fund provides practical assistance to patient families who, through no fault of their own, are suffering severe hardship due to an unexpected illness and either social or economic deprivation. More specifically, the funds go towards paying for such things as critical prescriptions for children, overnight lodging, clothing, and groceries when these items are sorely needed.

To raise money, WLRA created the bi-annual event, "To Kill a DJ," which sees DJs in the program manning a 6 hour non-stop broadcast, with some students going even longer. In the spring, the college of nursing holds a fundraising event called "Change for Children," which also raises money for the Family Assistance Fund.

I think it's time to update this!! Island Dreams in now in it's 10th year. We have raised over $50,000 for our charities. All with the help our our great artists. We have come a long way from the 1st set with 100 packs. Over the years I have see some great artwork, made some good friends.
So once again we are going to do another set! As you know we set a pack limit, and all cards are stuffed into those packs, all packs have at least 2 hand drawn one of a kind sketch cards, but thanks to our great artists we have been able to stuff 3-4 cards into packs.

I also have to thank the buyers (you all know who you are). If it wasn't for you Island Dreams would have ended a long time ago.

So here is to another year of kick-ass artwork, and hoping to be doing this for another 10 years.
