Joe and Laurie Ramsey established Empowered Dream Hunts in 2007. With Joe’s love for the outdoors and hunting, Joe noticed that there was a need to help those with challenges, disabilities, or illness, so that they can have an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors as well. As a family, the Ramsey’s have worked together in raising funds to cover the costs of a dream hunt, including lodging, meals, a deer, and mount. The Ramsey family has also purchased adaptive equipment to aid individuals in their experience, including: a hunting trailer blind, Action TrackChairs, trailers, and more. Anyone may utilize the adaptive equipment for their outdoor experiences. Recipeints of dream hunts are provided a keepsake DVD. Joe and Laurie consider the recipients and their families to be a part of the Ramsey family through these wonderful experiences. Empowered Dream Hunts always promotes family involvement through the entire dream hunt process. The recipient’s family is encouraged to assist in fundraising efforts. They are also invited to come along and experience the hunt with their family member (recipient). Being with family makes the experience much more memorable and special. Joe is available for motivational speaking about Empowered Dream Hunts, life and wrestling.
