Vibha Dream Mile 2025: Community Steps Forward for a Cause

Описание: On the morning of September 14, 2025, The Collection at Forsyth in Cumming, Georgia, transformed into a sea of running shoes, bright athletic gear, and determined faces as close to 1,000 runners and walkers from the community came together for the Dream Mile. Organized by
Vibha, this annual fundraiser is more than just a race—it is a community tradition that blends fitness, philanthropy, and celebration.
What began in Atlanta in 1998 as a small local initiative has grown into Vibha’s flagship event across the United States. Over the last 27 years, the Dream Mile has raised more than $3 million, directly impacting the lives of more than 180,000 underprivileged children through
education, healthcare, and empowerment programs. Each year, the event also supports local causes, strengthening its ties with the very communities where it is held.

Paramount served as the title sponsor, joined by about 44 other corporate and community sponsors whose commitment ensured the event’s success. Their support underscored the importance of public-private partnerships in driving change and turning a race into a movement for social good.
Equally vital were the hundreds of Vibha volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. From coordinating registrations and managing the course to cheering participants at water stations, their dedication was visible at every step. Their energy and enthusiasm helped create
the welcoming atmosphere that has become the hallmark of the Dream Mile.

Vibha’s model ensures that the funds raised create measurable impact, whether through grassroots initiatives in India or local partnerships in the United States. Past beneficiaries have included Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and the International Community School in Decatur, underscoring the event’s dual commitment to both global and local causes.

As the sun set on September 14, the smiles, stories, and camaraderie remained.
