Fundraising for Vibha Buffalo Cricket 2019

Vibha - Buffalo conducts Men’s and Women’s cricket tournament every summer to raise funds for underprivileged children. The humble beginnings of this event were back in 2013 when a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers decided to use cricket as a vehicle to raise funds and create awareness towards the cause. Over past 6 years we have brought thousands of people together from all over western New York with the common vision of making a child's dream come true. 2019, like any other year, is no exception.

I feel proud to share that since its inception in 1991, Vibha has raised $17+ Million in support of over 250 projects focusing on 4 major areas including Education, Vocational and livelihood training, Care for physically and/or mentally challenged children, and Rescue and rehabilitation of children in vulnerable conditions.

 Here are few highlights from our achievements from last year:

• Currently supporting 37 projects in the US and India
• Through our SEED-SCALE-GROW Model we positively impacted over 2 Million children via the programs which were successfully scaled.
• For 3^rd consecutive year Vibha was rated Gold by the GuideStar Inc. that puts Vibha in the top 0.5% for all listed non-profits in the US.
• I am especially proud to announce our engagement with Erie County Child Care Resource Network (CCRN) where Vibha is supporting parent outreach program and childcare enrichment programs to address the issues related to early childhood care in WNY region.
