And every December TIME and American Family Insurance come together to honor the fearless dreamers who believe in protecting, restoring, and championing their communities. Dreamers hold fast to a vision of a better future. They define resiliency, seeing obstacles as opportunities, not roadblocks. Dreamers always rise to the occasion to help others in a time of need, no matter the sacrifice it takes. They do what's right, even – and especially – when it's extremely difficult. These are changemakers: real world heroes dedicated to repairing communities and restoring the dreams that power them. In the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, their efforts remind us of the healing power of humanity and the ripple effect of helping others. Dreamers are our rock, a lighthouse amid darkness. Their unshakable strength and boundless empathy deserves recognition. Join us on December 11 to celebrate the 2024 Dreamer of the Year.  The American Family Insurance Dreams Foundation is committed to driving lasting social change. We build transformative partnerships to close equity gaps, strengthen climate and community resilience, and fight for social justice. We are continually growing our efforts to disrupt inequitable access, resources and opportunity – inspiring and protecting our communities’, customers’ and company’s ability to dream fearlessly.
