Where can I buy color run powder for my color run?
When schools partner with School-A-Thon for a color run fundraiser, they do not have to worry about sourcing color powder separately. School-A-Thon provides the bulk color dust and individual color packs needed for the event as part of their Color-A-Thon program.

What should I wear to a color run fundraiser?
White clothing is recommended to help the colors stand out during the event, especially white t-shirts. As part of the School-a-Thon prize program, schools can provide official white Color Run t-shirts for participants at $5.00 each, paid by the school. Many participants also add colorful accessories and themed outfits to make the experience even more fun. Children will wear their Color Run prizes they have earned throughout the fundraiser, such as sunglasses, tutus, crazy socks, wigs, bandanas, and other fun accessories.
