And because of the wonderful experience bulk color powder brings, most of the participants will look forward to the event year after year.

 

Here are our concepts for raising funds with Color Blaze color powder!

 

Registration Fees

 

The most practical approach to raise funds is by charging a registration fee for your race. Whether it's $5 or $50, thoroughly calculate the overall expenditure of the event to make sure that you reach your goal. Include into the equation the expenses for the event location, wholesale and bulk powder needs, prizes, and giveaways. The registration fee, at the end of the end, should be able to cover all your expenses. Therefore, make sure that whatever you charge per runner versus the expected total number of participants is enough.

 

Just like all color powder events, offer a benefit for people who register early. If they register 30 days prior to the event day, they can pay for a discounted amount or $10 less than the regular registration fee. Early registration can start 60- 90 days prior to your event date, then you'll have more time to focus on the marketing and promotion of the race.

 

Pledges for Color Fun Runs

 

Ask your runners to make pledges for each lap or mile they run. It might be a pledge for $50 per student, a group of 5 to contribute $100, or collect $10 from 5 people or $5 from 20 people.

 

Award prices to the runners that collect the most pledges. You'll be surprised at how much a person or group can collect with a little reward at stake. The prices can vary from visit to the local bowling alley, a session to a pottery studio, or a ticket to a movie theater. Local establishments can also offer gift certificates as prizes for the winners. Allocate the prices based on who got the most pledges.

 

Different online fundraising platform allows participants to quickly email family and friends. This is beneficial for your organization since many people can contribute to your cause with just a click of a button. Just imagine the number of returns when 200 kids send emails to 5 to 10 family member.
