Youth for Hospice and Clarkstown North Grad Nite Proudly Present "Cloud of Color 1 Mile Fun Run" on Sunday, April 26, 2015 at Clarkstown North High School, New City

UHR's Youth for Hospice joins forces with Clarkstown North Grad Nite to present an exciting non-competitive 1 mile Color Fun Run!

United Hospice of Rockland’s Youth for Hospice joins forces with Clarkstown North Grad Nite to present an exciting non-competitive 1 mile Color Run, which is a fun run/walk for people of all ages, that brings excitement and a little exercise together, celebrating a color and a healthy life, all while earning money for two great causes! The only requirement is to wear white so you can show off your colors after the run is over. The twist with this run is that volunteers cover runners in multicolored powder made of corn starch, along the way. When the race is over, participants look like masterpieces, in a palette of colors!

Grad Nite is an all-night, alcohol, tobacco, and drug free celebration for the graduating class that is held on the night of their graduation. Grad Nite provides a safe alternative to party hopping. It keeps graduates off the road, prevents them from becoming an accident statistic, and allows parents and guardians to rest easy knowing their son/daughter is celebrating safely. Grad Nite is a parent chaperoned event attended by Clarkstown North graduating seniors only. If you are interested in more information about Grad Nite, please email chsngradnite2015@gmail.com.
