Miles for Gretta: July 20–26
Dream Crazy is on a mission to raise $20,000 before Labor Day, and we’re honored to include Miles for Gretta as part of this summer’s fundraising efforts. This week-long pledge challenge will take place July 20–26.
Miles for Gretta is open to all ages—children, athletes, families, and adults. Participants can join individually, as a family, or as a team.
Throughout the week, you’ll walk, run, bike, hike, swim, or stay active in any way you choose while tracking your miles and collecting pledges from friends, family, and supporters. Every mile brings us closer to our goal and helps create opportunities for young athletes to pursue their dreams.
We all know how much Gretta loved to run—this is a way to honor that spirit by getting out there and moving for a purpose!
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.
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.

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 on the form below 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
