Birmingham, AL (1888PressRelease) January 18, 2011 - Find A Dream- a 501(c)(3)nonprofit organization that reaches out to community children and provides them a healthy channel to find and work towards fulfilling a dream-has announced that UFC Hall of Famer and MMA legend Dan Severn has recently come aboard the team.

"We are thrilled to have Dan Severn as part of our organization," said Rod Ricciardi, co-founder of Find A Dream. "He has done so much for MMA and wrestling both inside and out of the ring, I know he will be a huge asset to Find A Dream in helping reach out and spread awareness to communities nationwide."

Severn, who was a top high school and collegiate wrestler, setting records which still stand to this day, is best known for the legendary fights he fought in the UFC, helping shape the organization to what it is today. At the age of 52 Severn still competes at top level and is fighting Jan. 29, 2011 for the Elite-1 MMA Heavyweight Title.

But when the MMA star isn't fighting or training, he spends his time giving back to the youth by teaching seminars and helping kids learn the art of grappling, MMA and amateur wrestling.

"When I was presented with the opportunity to be part of Find A Dream I jumped on it," said Severn. "I'm all for helping kids, and I've always wanted to be a positive influence as they are out future. It is important for young kids to be around good role models to help guide them. Sometimes it's hard for a kid to go to their parents to talk about certain things, but by surrounding themselves with good people, they'll get the right guidance."

Find A Dream is a nonprofit organization unlike any other. They have partnered with professionals to deliver on their promise of positive change in young lives. Communities become stronger when youth is mentored through people of character with a true interest in pouring constructive, character-building activities and input into their lives.

"We are excited to have Severn aboard as we are confident he can help us spread awareness about Find A Dream and be a positive and productive force in helping change the lives of our youth," said Ricciardi. "At Find A Dream we put our beliefs into practice every day through the programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body in the youths around us. Our impact is felt every time an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child, and when a community comes together for the common good."
