Harvey is a 91-year-old dreamer who has sought his whole life to dream the impossible dream. 

​​

All his life, he has had this dream of sharing his journey with all of you. His childhood was not a simple one and, at times, chaotic.

 

The story of the pink ball is how friendships are made and kept for a lifetime.

 

His best best friend, Garry Marshall, and him began having a catch with this ball when they were about 10 years old. At that time, a profound bond of friendship began. Garry was a sickly young man, and many times Harvey visited him while he was in bed. They had a catch, which always brought a smile to both of their faces. This continued for the rest of their lives.

 

Sadly, Garry is no longer with us; however, he is still Harvey's best best friend.

 

You may all remember Garry Marshall, the renowned writer, producer, director, and actor behind iconic TV shows like Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, as well as beloved films such as Beaches and Pretty Woman.

 

Harvey envisions a world where every child, regardless of their circumstances, can experience hope, happiness, and the transformative power of a smile. The pink ball has the spiritual power to create a future where children feel a sense of hope and community, allowing them to have an optimistic view of the world.
