The Harvey Martin Dream Foundation was conceived by the late Harvey Martin and his sister, Mary Martin. In honor of her brother’s legacy, it has become Mary’s inspiration and passion to establish a foundation in her brother’s memory that will motivate, encourage, inspire and financially assist students who have the desire to further their educational aspirations beyond the high school level. In fulfillment of our purpose, the Foundation will strategically seek, recognize, and reward the efforts of students who demonstrate a personal desire and work ethic to achieve progressive academic improvement.
