Thanks a lot to the great team effort that made it possible. I was fortunate enough to receive a lot of positive feedback from a number of friends, colleagues and neighbors. My CPA thought this was the most well-organized race he ran this year. The team-spirit and dedication of the volunteers was on display as things happened smoothly and precisely.

Fantastic job Manoj and everyone. I think this was the best walk we have had so far in spite of the weather. Let's keep the same pace for our coming event!

SOME TESTIMONIALS:

Very well organized, meticulous planning. Your cause is noble. You guys talk less and focus on doing things right. I like that.
Padmashri Dr. SP Balasubrahmanyam

The SPB concert was extremely well organized and we had a blast. Thanks for a wonderful night, which will be in our memories for a long long time.
Shekher Ramella, Vibha patron

Fantastic!. I am really proud of Vibha and the lead volunteers.
Ravi Reddy, Vibha patron

You have done your best in organizing the program.
Murty B, Vibha patron

It was very well organized. It started on time. I liked how he stated the cause and asked for sponsors for songs.
Suseela, Vibha patron

..it was one of the BEST that I have attended. You must all be very proud.
Sury, Vibha patron

You have excelled through every step of the process. The Banners, Posters and the places you have placed them were so very right. The Website you have developed was simple, rich and had the right amount of information. The inclusion of seat numbers on the tickets solved perplexity of audience. The Group discount was an excellent option. I was able to pull in 9 people because of a discount on their ticket amount. The direction for the Parking was well posted. And above all, the program was so well organized. As mentioned by SPB Sir, you had it start on time and maintained it through out the event. This definitely gives a great confidence to viewers that VIBHA's events will be well organized and performed.
Thirupurasundari Krishnamurthy, Vibha patron

SOME TESTIMONIALS:

I participated in the 10K run this morning and just wanted to thank you for the race you put on. All the volunteers were extremely friendly and supportive. The awards ceremony was great too, because it's not that often races have prizes (and such generous ones) for participants. Thanks for all the hard work that clearly went into making this a great event! I will look forward to running the Vibha 10k in the future.
Andrea Reichert, Vibha patron

I really enjoyed the race!! :)
Nichole Frost, Vibha patron

I thought the event was really well run and will plan to take part next year!
