This year we held our 1st Annual Color Run Fundraiser! We started this past spring contacting community businesses to get T-Shirt Sponsors for our students/staff shirts for the color run. Our new Trojan Pride Shirts! Working with Josh Todd at Charlevoix Screen Masters always makes our projects like that feel so effortless. Thank you Josh!
Then this fall about a week before our event we sent home collection envelopes with students to collect money from people sponsoring them in their run. Our goal was to have each student collect $25 in sponsorships each. If we did that we would reach over $3300 for our fundraiser! The children had about a week to collect and get their monies turned in. We are so very fortunate to live in the community we do and were able to get so many awesome volunteers to help make our color run work so smoothly! The day of the color run we had a blast!! Volunteers helped man the course, toss/spray the color, play music, cheer on the students, take photos, make sure our course was safe for our students and so much more! Everyone, student & staff, alike all had so much fun! After counting up our funds collected we counted $3105! What a great successful and super fun 1st year for our new fundraiser! We can't wait to do it again next year!! THANK YOU CENTRAL LAKE COMMUNITY!!
