Miles For Gretta Challenge
Miles for Gretta: July 20–26
Every Mile Counts!
Dream Crazy is on a mission to raise $20,000 before Labor Day, and we are honored to incorporate Miles for Gretta into our summer fundraising efforts. This powerful week-long pledge challenge will take place July 20–26.
Miles for Gretta is open to all ages—children, athletes, families, and adults are welcome to participate. You can join as an individual, family, or team.
Participants will walk, run, bike, hike, swim, or stay active in any way that allows them to track miles while collecting pledges from family, friends, and supporters. Every mile helps move us closer to our goal and supports opportunities for young athletes to pursue their dreams.
How It Works
Participants collect pledges from family, friends, and supporters.
Sponsors pledge an amount per mile completed (example: $0.25, $0.50, $1, $5+ per mile).
Participants track miles from July 20–26.
Donations are collected based on total miles completed at the end of the challenge week by each individual, family, or team. Once collected, donate the total to the foundation to receive your award!
Join as an Individual, Family, or Team
You can participate in a way that fits your community best:
Individual participant
Family
Team (school, club, friends, workplace, etc.)
If you register as a family or team, please be sure to submit the individual team member with the highest mileage so we can accurately track and recognize individual results across the challenge.
Participant Incentives & Awards
Anyone who raises $75 or more will receive a special Dream Crazy package by mail, including:
Dream Crazy bracelet
Commemorative awareness ribbon
Dream Crazy sticker
Challenge Awards (Announced August 7th)
We will be recognizing THREE winners:
Top Individual Participant – most total miles completed
Top Family – family with the highest combined miles
Top Team – team (club, school, workplace, friends, etc.) with the highest combined miles
Each category winner will receive a special surprise prize!
Why It Matters
Miles for Gretta supports Dream Crazy’s 40 for 40 Challenge, helping 40 athletes access opportunities to grow, compete, and succeed before what would have been Gretta’s 40th birthday.
Funds raised will provide scholarships for camps, clinics, travel teams, and essential equipment—removing financial barriers so athletes can pursue their goals.
Every mile and every dollar helps open doors and create opportunity. Together, we can honor Gretta’s legacy by investing in the next generation of athletes.
How to Donate
After the challenge week, participants will submit their total miles and collect donations from their pledged sponsors based on those miles. Once all pledges are collected, participants will then send their total donation amount to the foundation

Dream Crazy for Gretta Ehret Pickup Basketball tournament
For more than 30 years, a dedicated group of men has gathered every Saturday morning for a pickup basketball game rooted in friendship, competition, and tradition. Many of the players are former University of Pennsylvania athletes, joined over the years by close friends who share their love of the game.
In honor of Gretta Ehret, a proud Penn alumna, the group organized a special tournament to raise funds for the Gretta Ehret Dream Crazy Foundation. The event celebrates not only decades of basketball camaraderie, but also the powerful impact of coming together for a meaningful cause.
We are deeply grateful to the University of Pennsylvania for generously allowing us to host this tournament and support the foundation’s mission.
