In the southwest corner of Fairfield, there sits a vibrant bedroom community known as Green Valley. It is home to some 7000 families, three elementary schools, one of the only two junior high/middle schools, and one of the three local high schools. While there are ample medical facilities and gyms in North and Central parts of the city, including one towards the east where Travis Airforce Base is located, the Green Valley Community lacks a medical facility or facility that promotes good health and exercise for the diverse community. The local gym is only open limited hours and requires expensive membership. The local community college only allows students to use their sport facilities or enroll in classes. There is an annual turkey trot, but it is sponsored by a third party organization that raises funds to benefit their charity. In 2012, Dream Catchers Association established as a group of parents who have discovered a large disconnect between the education of exercise and promotion of good health with events that promote exercise and healthy living for our community. Other organizations have come to hold events, but the money raised does not filter back to our community here in Green Valley area of Fairfield.
