Aubry's Dream
Aubry is a 14 year old from Topeka, KS. While brain cancer has weakened her body, her spirit is as strong as it is sweet. Her dream was to attend a KC Royals game with her twin brother. mom, sister and extended family. Her family all joined her in the limo ride from Topeka to Kauffman Stadium. Gil Meche (KC Royals pitcher) and his wife Stacy invited Aubry and her family to use their personal suite at the stadium. Gil was waiting in his suite when the family arrived. The Meche's had arranged for the suite to be filled with all of Aubry's favorite foods and decorated in yellow, her favorite color. Gil stayed with Aubry and her family until the game began. He signed one of his team jerseys and she wore it the entire time. He didn't forget her once the game ended. He stood on the field and waved to her as she waited for the fireworks to begin. It was a wonderful evening for Aubry to spend with her family and forget about her cancer, if only for a few hours.

The Dream Factory would like to thank Gil and Stacy Meche and Betty Kaegel, Director of Community Outreach for the Kansas City Royals for making Aubry's dream come true.

The support of local and regional businesses and organizations plays an essential role in the Dream Factory's mission to grant the wishes of ailing children. For the past four years, Price Chopper grocery stores have done just that. And once again, on January 21, this Kansas City institution presented the Greater Kansas City Dream Factory with a very generous check for $25,000. On hand to accept the donation was Larry Moore, KMBC news anchor and Dream Factory co-founder; Ralph Apel, Vice President of the Dream Factory and Lake, a Dream Child who recently met his idol, Chiefs football living legend Tony Gonzalez.
