The Garden of Dreams Foundation received a boost from the US Darts Masters' return to New York this week with support from some of the sport's top names.
The Garden of Dreams Foundation is a non-profit charity which works with the MSG Family of Companies - including Madison Square Garden, the host of this week's World Series event - to provide life-changing experiences for young people in need.
Darts' top stars are in New York for the US Darts Masters and North American Championship in The Theater at MSG.
Luke Littler, the teenage superstar making his New York debut, has shown his support for the Garden of Dreams Foundation by wearing their logo on his shirt throughout his participation in the US Darts Masters.
In addition, former World Champion Rob Cross and America's newest PDC professional, Danny Lauby, led a special darts session with 16 young people at MSG on Thursday.
Cross and Lauby were joined by PDC ambassador Russ Bray and staff from the Junior Darts Corporation for the session, introducing the sport to a new generation.
The youngsters were also invited to attend Friday's opening night of the US Darts Masters, where they were able to cheer on Cross and Lauby and see referee Bray in action.
The JDC's activity in New York ahead of the US Darts Masters included an in-school session at Ethical Culture Fieldston School, which was attended by 2023 World Champion Michael Smith, and a Coach Accreditation Day ahead of the launch of new JDC Academies in the US and Canada this year.
