History of Living the Dream, Inc.
Living the Dream, Inc. was chartered in 1985 in Topeka, Kansas by Robert Bugg. The nonprofit organization's goals are centered around preserving the legacy of civil rights advocate Martin Luther King, Jr. and include recognizing and teaching human understanding, promoting academic excellence, and enhancing Dr. King's philosophy of nonviolence.
Living the Dream, Inc. provides academic scholarships to students and annually recognizes individuals, organizations, and corporations for their outstanding contributions to the Topeka and Shawnee County, Kansas communities. The organization particularly focuses on acknowledging those who often go unnoticed in their community efforts.
The Living the Dream Business Partners Board was formed in 2002, and the Living the Dream Foundation was established in 2007. Living the Dream, Inc. annually holds a black-tie gala in honor of Dr. King, and since 1988 the organization has held a Celebrity Fashion Show.
