Established in 2010 by Carl and Carole Boyett, Make Dreams Real creates opportunities for underserved youth to participate in programs that enrich and stimulate their minds and bodies, and teach values through service learning. Access to these opportunities, offered in partnership with local nonprofits and school districts, can positively impact our community’s school dropout rate, education level, and overall quality of life. The total amount awarded for this year’s grant cycle is $341,805.

"We are incredibly excited to support these remarkable organizations in their efforts to make dreams a reality for school-age children throughout Stanislaus County," said Dale Boyett, CEO of Boyett Petroleum. "Our family is thrilled to support programs that foster creativity, inspire curiosity, and empower our youth to dream big.”

Over the last 14 years, Make Dreams Real has granted more than $2 million to local nonprofits and schools. These grants are made possible by the generosity of the Boyett family, Boyett Petroleum staff and business associates, and members of the community. Boyett Petroleum also hosts an invitational golf tournament every year, with 100% of the funds raised added directly to the Make Dreams Real Endowment Fund. This year’s golf tournament will take place at Del Rio on Thursday, May 16.
