The Dream Mile

What is Dream Mile?

The Dream Mile is Vibha’s flagship fundraiser event, with the anticipated participation of 1,000 patrons from across the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Vibha volunteers have been organizing this run/walk event for more than 25 years and it has become a permanent fixture on the calendars of runners and families in various cities across the Bay Area.

The funds raised through the Dream Mile go towards supporting child development projects in India and the USA. Our mission is to transform the quality of public education by scaling proven models of Motivation, Learning, Training & Technology. In addition to our projects in India, the Dream Mile will support local beneficiaries of the Dream Mile host cities like the Children’s Hospital of Atlanta, The International Community School Georgia, Inspiredu, Communities In Schools Chicago, and School on Wheels, Massachusetts. Over the years, the The Dream Mile has raised more than $3 Million that has gone to support more than 180,000 children.

Who is it for?

The Dream Mile is for anyone who would like to walk or run a few miles to help realize the dreams of millions of underprivileged children.
