[edit] Partnership for a great cause

The Dream Mile is our flagship event for fundraising as well as increasing awareness about the plight of less fortunate children. Since its inauguration in 1998, it has grown from a small event attended by mostly Vibha supporters to a permanent fixture on the calendars of serious runners in these cities.

We request your support for the 10th Annual Dream Mile 5K/10K Run/Walk being organized by Vibha on June 29th, 2008 at Shoreline Park. Proceeds of this event will benefit child development projects for underprivileged children in India. The Bayarea event is expected to include several hundred participants plus additional family members.

Some of our past sponsors include Genentech, Wells Fargo, Tescra and a host of other companies. We invite you to help us again to make this event a grand success. Enclosed are more details about various sponsorship packages, and about Vibha’s efforts in India and the US.

Here are the ways you can champion our cause. Monetary Sponsor:' Donate money and help Vibha meet Walk-related expenses

Material Donor: Provide food & refreshments for walkers, provide professional services like printing and mailing etc.

Checkpoint sponsor: Set up and staff checkpoints along the Walk trail and provide refreshments to walkers.

Media Partner: Help generate awareness about the event through print media, radio, television, internet and banner advertisements.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to working closely with you to strengthen the cause of underprivileged children. If we can dream a little, then we can do a little. Every step you take will help many needy children. We hope to see you at the Vibha 5K/10K Run/Walk!
