Meet The Golden Team

Meet the passionate people who help make Golden Dreams possible.

Stephanie Burden

Stephanie saw firsthand, as a second grade teacher, the importance of making students feel supported and celebrated. Recognizing a need for students to have access to formalwear for special moments, she created the Golden Dreams Project to help make those opportunities possible. Outside of her work with students and Golden Dreams, Stephanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their two children.
