Access valuable resources at your convenience, including video tutorials and pre-written support materials like Newsletter Articles, Parent Letters, and Parent Communications. With our live funds tracker, you can monitor your fundraising progress in real-time, allowing you to effectively manage your activities throughout your event and stay on track to reach your goals. Keep your school community engaged and motivated with automated emails featuring helpful hints and tips, while also having the flexibility to send custom messages tailored to your fundraising needs.

Get the momentum going by launching and promoting your special event! Your Fundraising Coach will guide you in making the lead-up to this event just as enjoyable as the event day itself. Utilize our prewritten support materials and tailor-made fundraising plan to kickstart your fundraising efforts at least 4 weeks before your event day.

Step 5: Create Memories With A Crazy Colour Day!

Now comes the exciting part: The Crazy Colour Day! Choose a time and place that suits your school best. Opt for hosting the event during school hours to ensure maximum participation. Typically, schools organize runs for groups of around 50-100 kids at a time. Utilize a loop track spanning approximately 150 meters, allowing each group to run for about 15 minutes. This setup enables most schools to complete their entire School Fun Run between the ‘End of Lunch’ and ‘End of Day’ periods.

Your Fundraising Coach will be an invaluable resource in planning this day, ensuring it's a memorable experience for everyone involved and that the School Colour Run is tailored to you. Let's create unforgettable moments within our school community! Together, we'll make it the best day ever!

Step 6: Hand Out School Fun Run Prizes!

Now it's time to recognize the efforts of your families and express your heartfelt gratitude. It's reassuring to know that there's no financial risk or upfront cost for your school. Following the School Colour Run, you'll receive a comprehensive invoice covering all expenses. Every family that raises over $10 will be rewarded for their hard work. There's no need for you to manage spreadsheets; families can conveniently order their prizes online post-event, and the website will handle all tracking for you. Once we've received your prize order, the excitement continues as we package all the prizes and deliver them to you for distribution to the families. Celebrate the dedication and generosity of the families, ensuring they feel appreciated for their contributions to your school community.

Colour Day Fundraising Activities - FAQs

WHAT CAN A COLOUR DAY FUNDRAISER RAISE MONEY FOR?

A school colour day can raise money for a number of different causes that are important to your school. Many schools choose to raise funding via a colour day to fund new playground equipment, technology upgrades, shade sails, air conditions or to help pay for school trips and events. Some schools also donate a portion of the money raised to charity.

The purpose of a school Colour Run is to raise money for a great cause, boost school spirit, improve student wellbeing and create a memorable experience for the whole school community to share. A school Colour Run is a great way to bring people together and create lasting memories. Plus, it's a great way to show your support for a good cause! Whatever the cause, a school colour run is a great way to raise money and have fun at the same time!

DO YOU NEED TO BE A CERTAIN AGE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CRAZY COLOUR DAY?

No, there is no age limit for participating in a Colour Fun Run. The event is open to people of all ages, and the colour powder used is safe for everyone.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE COLOUR POWDER USED IN COLOUR FUN RUNS?

The colour used in our events is made from a powder that is safe and non-toxic. The powder is made from corn starch and is dyed with food-safe dyes. When the powder is mixed with water, it creates a colourful, slime-like substance that is perfect for running through!

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO USE A CRAZY COLOUR DAY AT SCHOOL FOR A FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY?

The best time to hold a colourful event is in the spring or summer. This is because the weather is usually warm enough to allow people to be outside for extended periods of time, and the colours will show up better in natural sunlight.

WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR FOR A CRAZY COLOUR DAY FUN RUN?

Since you will be getting covered in coloured powder during the race, it is best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. White clothing is especially good for showing off the colours! You should also wear comfortable shoes that you can run or walk-in.
