The Building Dreams Foundation was established on November 30th, 2006, when after four years of fighting to bring an institute to the University of Florida, the students decided to take matters into their own hands and unify students and alumni to raise support, awareness, and funds for an Instititue of Asian and Asian American Cultures. The institute would allow the rapidly growing Asian American community to establish a permanent foothold on the campus where students of all races can learn about Asian American history and hold organized meetings to plan for future events. The 2011 Amazing Race is a journey across campus that features cultural challenges from different organizations along the way. Teams of four to five people compete to complete the course the quickest. First, second, and third place teams will receive prizes; with last year's first place team winning over $250 in prizes! All teams will receive a T-shirt as part of their registration fee along with free food, games, and friends.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN EITHER COMPETING OR HOSTING A STATION, PLEASE FILL OUT THE APPROPRIATE FORMS BELOW!
