2025-26 Color Run Fundraiser

What IS Color Run??

The fundraising part of Color Run helps us pay for so many school items (see below) and will run from September 16th through October 10th. Then, on October 10th, grades will assemble, one by one, on the walking track during the school day. They are encouraged to run around the track at least 4 times while volunteers spray them with non-toxic color powder. You do not need to fundraise to participate - every student is included in this fun run! Parents are encouraged to volunteer and help cheer, throw color, mark t-shirts, or help the kids remove the color afterward.

The Guest Elementary Color Run Fundraiser is our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year and this year our goal is to raise $25,000 during the Color Run. Funds raised go to help pay for many things including:

  • Field Trips
  • After School Activities
  • Reading Resources
  • Teacher Fund
  • Feeding Our Staff
  • Family Activities (dances, ice cream social)
  • Classroom Tech & Enrichment
  • Staff Appreciation Week
  • Assemblies
  • Spelling/Geography Bees

The more money we raise, the more awesome stuff we can provide.

The fundraiser leads up to our Color Run taking place on October 10th during school - it isn’t a spectator activity but we will have plenty of opportunities to volunteer so you can watch your student get covered in non-toxic color powder (or just run)!

This year, we’re using Booster to help collect funds. We ask every student to raise $76 which can be donated online. Here’s how to find your child's pledge page:

  1. Search and find your participant's online pledge page here: www.99pledges.com/fund/Wildcatchamps2025
  2. Share their specific page link to all your social media pages, or text message/email to friends and family.
  3. If you would like to customize your child's pledge page, please email MHGPTAfundchair2021@gmail.com.
    1. Include your email address, your child's first and last name, grade, and teacher. Once you have provided this information, you will be able to adjust their goal, upload a picture, and see who donated toward their goal.
  4. OR You don't need to do anything - just make a donation for whatever amount you can, and share your child's page with friends and family! We are hoping for 100% participation, so no amount is too small.
