Phoenix Youth Programs

In 2000, a small group of creative and dedicated individuals wanted to make a difference for homeless and at-risk youth in Halifax. They came together to plan and organize the first annual Celebrity Dreamscape, an annual fundraising event that would be like no other in the city. The goal was to create a themed gala with a mix of elements that enthralled guests and stimulated all five senses. Handcrafted scenery, thrilling entertainment, and well-known celebrity guests soon became hallmarks of the Celebrity Dreamscape brand. Over the years the spring season became known as Dreamscape season in Halifax. Guests returned year after year to see, feel, hear and taste a fantastic themed-event experience. Supporters knew what their support meant for Phoenix programs for at-risk and homeless youth.
