About Living the Dream Foundation

We make dreams come true for music fans facing life-threatening illnesses by creating once-in-a-lifetime Dream Days.

A Dream Day can include meet-and-greets with bands and artists, VIP access to concerts and festivals, the opportunity to hang out backstage, or even onstage, and personalized surprise gifts. These once-in-a-lifetime experiences create lasting memories that our guests and their families will cherish forever.

Living The Dream Foundation was established by Scottie Somers in 2007. Despite being born with cystic fibrosis and spending significant time in hospitals, Scottie’s unwavering positivity inspired fellow patients, proving that it’s possible to keep living the dream despite a diagnosis. His compassion for those living with chronic and terminal illnesses, combined with his experience in the music industry, inspired him to create Living The Dream

For many years, Living The Dream has collaborated with rock band Pierce The Veil to create meaningful experiences for our guests. As frontman Vic Fuentes became more involved, he joined as an official Ambassador in 2016 and, in 2019, was named CEO and Co-Chairman. Vic shares, “I love being a part of this foundation because it is so tangible and real. Being able to connect directly with the people we’re here to support and witness those moments firsthand means everything to us.”

Alongside Pierce The Veil and incredible partners such as Danny Wimmer, Kevin Lyman, Bob Hurley, and Live Nation, we continue to bring hope, joy, and unforgettable moments to music fans facing the unimaginable.

In Loving Memory of Dave Shapiro. Joining Living The Dream in its early years, Dave supported our mission and helped us grow in immeasurable ways. He will forever be remembered by all whose lives he touched.
