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 Run/Walk being organized by Vibha on Oct, 2009 at East Mall,UT Campus Austin. Proceeds of this event will benefit child development projects for underprivileged children in India. The Austin event is expected to include a few hundred participants plus additional family members.
We invite you to help us to make this event a grand success. Here are the ways you can champion our cause:

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.
