’s Vic Fuentes has been appointed co-chairman/CEO of Living the Dream Foundation, a nonprofit organization that makes dreams come true for children and young adults with terminal or life-threatening illnesses.
Living the Dream’s main focus is introducing sick children and young adults to their musical heroes and creating what the foundation calls Dream Days, which can include meet-and-greets with artists, VIP access to concerts and special events, or hospital visits. Hundreds of Dream Days have been realized since the foundation launched in 2007. In addition to Pierce the Veil, acts that have participated include Blink-182, Slipknot, Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson.
The path to Fuentes’ new position opened up when he saw an Instagram post from Living the Dream co-chairman/founder Scottie Somers, who was born with cystic fibrosis, stating that the foundation was struggling after losing a big sponsor. “It was very organic,” says Fuentes. “I commented on the post saying that I was willing to help out in any way I could, and the conversation started from there.”
Part of this is revamping the website and social media to “touch people’s hearts” by sharing photos and videos of Dream Day participants.
