2022-23 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 21st through October 7th. Then, on October 7th, 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 $20,000 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 7th 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 $50 which can be donated online or by check or cash sent into the school. Here’s how to register your student:

  1. Starting September 21st, go to MyBooster.com 
  2. Select Login or Create an Account - if you participated in our Dance-a-thon, you already have an account!
  3. Select “I’m a Parent/Guardian”
  4. Type in “Guest Elementary” and select the school
  5. Register Your Student and Follow the Prompts (it’ll ask you for their name and teacher)
  6. Add in some email addresses to send emails to ask your friends/family for donations
  7. Share on social platforms like Facebook and Twitter
