It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Charlie Henault, the founder of The Dream Factory.
In 1980, Charlie’s vision and determination led to the creation of an organization dedicated to granting dreams to children with critical and chronic illnesses. What began as one person’s idea has grown into a lasting legacy that continues to bring hope, joy, and comfort to families across the country.
We are incredibly grateful for Charlie’s life, his heart for others, and the foundation he built that allows The Dream Factory to continue its mission today. His impact will be felt for generations through every dream fulfilled and every life touched.
Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Charlie Henault. Thank you for showing us how to dream big- and for giving us the opportunity to make those dreams come true. ❤️
