This year's theme for Dream Big was "grit." By studying the life of U.S. Associate Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, 100 children from BronxWorks Betances Community Center examined the importance of dreaming big, working hard, and never giving up. They were also inspired by Bronx musicians Dr. Valerie Capers and Bobby Sanabria, both of whom offered summer workshops to the children.
