Hi all!
This year, I’m running the Chicago Marathon 2025 — not just for the finish line, but for a cause that runs deep in my heart: Asha for Education.
Asha for Education is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that’s entirely volunteer-run, with 50+ chapters around the world. Their mission? To catalyze socio-economic change in India by providing access to education for underprivileged children.
Having traveled overseas myself in pursuit of higher education, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative education can be. It opens doors, shapes futures, and creates opportunities where there once was none. Supporting Asha feels like coming full circle — giving back through the very force that shaped my journey.
Every donation you make helps fund grassroots educational projects in India — building schools, supporting teachers, and empowering children to dream bigger.
Let’s turn every mile into momentum for a brighter future.
Corporate Matching: You can maximize the impact of your donation by getting it matched by your company. Most of the companies match donations from employees to Asha for Education. You can verify on the confirmation webpage after you donate to verify if your company matches the donation. All donations are 100% tax deductible (Tax ID: 770 45 9884).
Feel free to reach out to me or chicago@ashanet.org for any questions.
Thank you!
