From the Organizer
Get ready for a day full of color, energy, and school spirit! Join Central PTO for our Inaugural Student Color Run — a fun, high-energy event where students will walk, jog, or run through a course filled with vibrant bursts of color. Families are invited to cheer them on and enjoy the festive atmosphere as spectators.
This fundraiser supports our school by helping provide enrichment programs, classroom resources, and special experiences for students and staff.
Students will enjoy:
🎨 Color stations along the course
🎶 Music and a celebratory vibe
👕 Commemorative event gear (while supplies last)
🏁 A colorful finish line celebration
Bring your cameras and school spirit to support our runners and help make our first Color Run a bright success! 🌈
100% of all proceeds go directly back to supporting Central Elementary School!
