Timothy & Pamela Coffey

Mr. Timothy and Mrs. Pamela Coffey began their philanthropic mission more than 20 years ago. They realized the need to help deserving students in underserved communities who often lacked the financial resources to attain a college education.

Mr. and Mrs. Coffey founded The Crystal Dreams Foundation to provide scholarships to help alleviate some of the financial stress that these students and their families face in order to pursue their dream of higher education. The S.T.E.P.U.P program, one of the many programs offered by Crystal Dreams, was also created to teach high school students practical life skills as well as useful job skills. The Coffey’s realized that for some students, access to positive role models was important. By also providing students with hands-on paid job experience taught by successful entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals in their community, these students can envision the fulfillment of their dreams and the road to a successful future for themselves.
