Who are we
The Silverstein Dream Foundation is a non-profit organization with the unique mission to support groundbreaking medical research for the Diabetes Research Institute and National Jewish Health.
The Founders are Patricia Silverstein and Roger Silverstein
Patricia and Roger are both very committed in their philanthropic missions.
Roger has been dealing with asthma symptoms since a very early age, and knows the strong impact medical research has had in his own health, him and his father Larry Silverstein have been strong advocates to The National Jewish Health Hospital for more than 3 decades, supporting the research and creating more awareness about the crucial task the research doctors are doing to provide better and more holistic treatment to those patients affected by asthma, allergies or any respiratory diseases.
Patricia has been a strong advocate to Diabetes cure since a very early age, as her younger sister was diagnosed with type 1 at the age of 6, since then she has always been on the research to find more information and tools to improve her sister's life, through nutrition, diet management and techniques like meditation to self regulate emotional stress on the day to day basis to improve glucose levels and insulin resistance. She became a licensed Health Coach to help those in need for guidance managing diabetes complications among other programs.

The strategy builds upon decades of cure-focused research and addresses the major challenges that stand in the way of a biological cure.
