JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Dreams Come True is still running its annual 5K fundraiser -- but the nonprofit has made some changes in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “This is a flexible, safe, option during these times, while still raising money for the dreams of local children,” Dreams Come True said. Once you register, you will receive a DCT5K mask, and Dreams Come True will donate a mask to one of its health care partners in your honor. Participants will have the chance to earn a 2020 DCT5K shirt by raising $150 or more through their fundraising page. But Dreams Come True highly encourages everyone to post/share pictures and more on social media during the official race period to help spread the word.
