The Dream Mile 2009
The Dream Mile 2009 Photos
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 Marines Toys For Tots Foundation - an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity, which is the fund raising, funding and support organization for the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. Part of the proceeds will be donated to Toys for Tots to help underprivileged children right here at Milwaukee.
