[edit] Frequently Asked Questions

[edit] How is the money raised through pledges used?

The money you raise through the pledge drive is used to directly fund child development projects. Part of the proceeds will also benefit Children's Healthcare Of Atlanta.

[edit] I cannot participate in the 5K run/walk, can I donate instead?

We would love your participation. But, we welcome your donation and are very much thankful for it. Click here to pledge an amount and support Vibha's cause.

[edit] Are donations tax-deductible?

Yes. Receipts will be mailed to your house.

[edit] How does The Dream Mile 5K Walk/Run work?

Walkers and runners are all ages and participants can walk as individuals, families, groups, work teams and more. There will be a high-energy warm-up before the start of run and walk. Refreshments are available before the Walk and Run and throughout the course, and volunteers are stationed along the Walk route to insure that walkers stay on course. The Atlanta City Police provides traffic control along the route.

[edit] Can children participate?

Definitely! This is a very family friendly event and attracts walkers and runners of all ages! Given that Vibha’s vision is to provide a brighter future for underprivileged children, it makes perfect sense to get your children involved. Strollers are welcome too!

[edit] Are there any kids activities planned?

We will have a 50m dash for kids in different age categories. There will also be several other kids activities in the kids area.
