'Witness To A Dream' is the true story of Music Executive Tom Sturges and 38 members of the Foshay Learning Center Choir in South Los Angeles he mentored from the 7th grade in 1997 to their eventual graduation from college in 2007. In 1997, Tom Sturges' career day talk at Foshay Learning Center turned into a long term commitment to help South Los Angeles students. He had 2 dreams for them: First, he wanted the budding singers to record a 10 song CD filled with their original lyrics and voices. Second, he wanted them to attend college. Ten years later, his dreams came true. Not only did the 38 members graduate from High School, they went on to major colleges like USC, Cal State Dominquez and UCLA, with further plans of going on to Graduate School.
