[edit] The Dream Mile 2009
The Dream Mile is the flagship event in Vibha's continued efforts to increase awareness about the plight of underprivileged children. It has come a long way since its inception in 1998. It has grown from being a small event attended primarily by volunteers and friends to a permanent fixture on the calendars of runners in the various cities in America. The increasing participation and enthusiasm for this event just goes to show how strongly people feel about the cause of underprivileged children.
This year Vibha has partnered with My New Red Shoes(MNRS) - a San Francisco Bay Area non-profit organization - and part of the proceeds will be donated to MNRS to help underprivileged kids right here in the Bay Area. In June 2006, MNRS, became the first non-profit that focuses solely on providing brand new school clothing to children throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
