Color Run

What is a Color Run?
The Color Run, also known as the Happiest run/walk on the Planet, is inspired by the Hindu festival of Holia and is a unique event that celebrates healthiness, happiness, and individuality. The Color Run/Walk is 1 mile, untimed event. At each lap, Color Runners are doused from head to toe in a different colored powder. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race plastered in color.
Is the color safe?
The Color Blast Dust is safe, non-toxic and completely washable! Our powder is a non-toxic, non-rash-inducing colored corn starch.
Key Information

GW Giving Tuesday!
The countdown is on — 1 week until Giving Tuesday!
Like every PTO/PTA, we believe in the power of generosity + community.
There are so many ways you can get involved: show up for Popcorn Friday shifts, attend our monthly PTO meetings, or volunteer at a GW school event.
However, on December 3, 2024, there is a special opportunity to donate to the GW PTO and have your donation matched by Basch & Keegan LLP (up to $500). This generous offer will help ensure that we have ample funding for student field trips, as all donations made during this year's Giving Tuesday will be reserved for student field trips. This includes excursions to UPAC performances, local farms, and baseball games to name a few.
Let’s give back and make this Giving Tuesday one to remember (for our GW kids)!
Together, we can make a lasting impact!
Follow this link to donate: my.cheddarup.com/c/gwgivingtuesday

La cuenta regresiva está en marcha, ¡1 semana hasta Giving Tuesday!
Como toda PTO/PTA, creemos en el poder de la generosidad + comunidad.
Hay muchas maneras de involucrarse: presentarse para un turno de Popcorn Friday, asistir a nuestras reuniones mensuales de PTO o ser voluntario en un evento escolar de GW.
Sin embargo, el 3 de diciembre de 2024, hay una oportunidad especial de donar a GW PTO y que Basch & Keegan LLP iguale su donación (hasta 500 $). Esta generosa oferta ayudará a garantizar que tengamos amplios fondos para las excursiones de los estudiantes, ya que todas las donaciones realizadas durante el Giving Tuesday de este año se reservarán para las excursiones de los estudiantes. Esto incluye excursiones a las actuaciones de UPAC, granjas locales y juegos de béisbol, por nombrar algunos.
¡Devuelvamos y hagamos de este Giving Tuesday uno para recordar (para nuestros niños de GW)!
¡Juntos, podemos tener un impacto duradero!
