The Chilleen Dream Foundation Story:
The Chilleen Dream Inc Established 2022. In 2013, Aleah Chilleen established The Venue at Chilleen's with the goal of providing couples with an all-inclusive wedding at an affordable rate. After successfully making over 500 couples' dreams come true, Ms. Chilleen felt compelled to give back in a new way.
In 2022, the idea of The Chilleen Dream Foundation was born, with the aim of helping couples affected by life-altering events to celebrate their love. The foundation is founded on the principle that love knows no boundaries and dreams can become realities. Its purpose is simple - to grant couples impacted by life-altering circumstances the opportunity to experience their own beautiful wedding day.
Ms. Chilleen's success with The Venue at Chilleen's and her passion for creating amazing event spaces led her to realize the potential for giving back to those in need. Through The Chilleen Dream Foundation, she hopes to make a positive impact on the lives of couples facing challenging circumstances and to bring joy and happiness to their special day.
Thankful for the success of The Venue at Chilleen's and deeply committed to the mission of The Chilleen Dream Foundation, Ms. Chilleen is excited to continue helping couples achieve their dream weddings and to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Our Mission
The Chilleen Dream Foundation aims to fulfill the wedding dreams of couples who have faced significant hardships such as illness, injuries, and other challenges that have made it difficult to plan or afford their desired wedding or vow renewal. Our foundation offers the opportunity for these couples to celebrate their love and commitment without the added burden of financial strain, allowing them to focus on creating cherished memories with their loved ones. We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and happiness that comes with a wedding, regardless of their circumstances.
Through our grant program, we aim to alleviate the financial burden that weddings can bring, so that our recipients can focus on what truly matters – celebrating their love and commitment to one another. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive community that fosters love, acceptance, and understanding, and to ensure that our recipients feel valued and respected throughout the entire wedding planning process.
Our goal is to create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime, and to provide a source of hope and inspiration to those facing adversity. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to experience the beauty and magic of a wedding day, and we are committed to making that dream a reality for as many people as possible.
Our Plan
The Venue at Chilleens has formed collaborations with top-notch industry professionals to provide extraordinary weddings to these deserving couples. Dreamers may be nominated in any of the four categories, which are Illness, Army Veteran or Wounded, Disabilities, and America's Heroes. Our goal is to host at least one or two weddings per year in each category, but we aspire to expand this number in the future with the aid of additional partnerships and sponsors, based on the level of need.
