Miles For Gretta Challenge
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.
Participant Incentives & Awards
Challenge Awards (Announced August 7th)
We will be recognizing THREE MILES winners:

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.

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.
