The St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation’s (SJHF) Colour My Foundation Colour Run is returning to Estevan, this coming summer.
The Aug. 27 event is fun for the whole family, and will feature guests embarking on a five mile walk, or run, at Woodlawn Regional Park. The event serves as a fundraiser for the SJHF, with all money raised going towards a new fetal heart monitor for the maternity/OBS department of St. Joseph’s Hospital.
A main draw of the event, of course, is the amount of colour involved. While participants run and walk, they’ll do so in intermittent clouds of vivid colour, as they are showered by a different colour of food-safe and eco-friendly dye, six separate times throughout their time on the move.
Those who wish to register can begin on May 2, at colourmyfoundation.com. Anyone and everyone, of every age, is encouraged to participate in the Colour My Foundation run. The run isn’t competitive, but will be timed. Those who register will receive a T-shirt, sunglasses, a bag of colour powder of their own and a pledge form for fundraising.
If people are interested in being part of the event, but don’t want to participate in the run itself, the SJHF also is encouraging 75 volunteers to help out with the event.
The previous Colour My Foundation Run in 2015 saw a total of 450 participants raise over $60,000. This year, the SJHF has even more attractions planned for the event, including live entertainment and vendors. For more information on what’s to come, contact Becky Conly with the SJHF.
