Canaan Elementary School recently hosted its inaugural color run fundraiser, collecting over $20,000 to support school assemblies and PTA events. Students, administrators, faculty, and staff all eagerly participated, with some running while others threw color. This included Canaan Elementary School’s principal, Ray Ruiz, who both tossed color and was completely covered. Families were invited to watch as well, enhancing community unity and joy.
“It was a day filled with energy, color, and fun. Most importantly, it brought us all together for a great cause,” said Canaan Elementary School first-grade dual language teacher and community liaison Jamie Mangan, who helped organize the event. “We would like to relay a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and participated. We could not have done it without them.”
Canaan Elementary School teamed up with Booster, a company that helps schools organize their fundraising efforts. Each student had the chance to register online and receive their own donation page. This page could also be shared with family and friends through social media to support students in their fundraising. Whether they raised money or not, every student was able to participate in the color run.
“We also want to give a special thank you to our generous sponsors, whose support made this event possible,” said Ms. Mangan. “Their commitment to our school and community means the world to us!”
