Business Sponsorships and Donations for the Merrimack Elementary Schools Color Run

The Merrimack Elementary Schools Color Run is looking for local Merrimack Businesses to help sponsor or donate to their June 3rd event!

The parent boards at Thorntons Ferry, James Mastricola and Reed Ferry Elementary Schools are hosting their first elementary-wide fundraising event, the Merrimack Elementary Schools Color Run: One Mile Fun Run, on Friday, June 3rd at Wasserman Park.

Students from each elementary school will be asking for donations from friends and relatives near and far to support this fun and healthy community event. The committee is asking local business to consider sponsoring this event by making a tax-deductible donation.

The Merrimack Elementary Schools Color Run: One-Mile Fun Run is tailored for Pre-K to Fourth grade students, staff and their families where participants can run, walk, dance through the course and get color-blasted in safe, eco-friendly, plant-based powdered dye at every zone, four zones to be exact…turning them into a moving target of fun!

After the race participants jam out to music at the Color Blast After Party. We will count down to when everyone rips open their color packets to share a blast of color with friends, family, and everyone around. The result is a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience that many people tell us is the most fun they have ever had while exercising.
