Create Action & The Firehouse Dream: Helping Others Discover Their Own Creativity

In October of 2021 we announced The Firehouse Dream as a recipient of the Sony Create Action Grant. Based in Maywood, Illinois, The Firehouse Dream is a creative arts nonprofit that connects young adults to a safe space to discover creative skill sets and be equipped with the tools needed in order to thrive in every area of their lives. As recipients of the grant, the nonprofit receives $50,000 in cash to continue and expand the organization's work, this Sony-produced short film telling their story and $50,000 in Sony Electronics products to support their action plan.
