How to Find Your Personal Fundraising Page:
- Go to our main fundraising page: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/kennedycol
- Find the box on the right that says “search for participant.”
- Type your name into this search box and press enter. Make sure the page that displays after searching is your first name, last initial and correct grade level.
- This is your personal fundraising page and the link that you should share with friends, family, neighbors, etc to collect donations. You can customize this page. Your parents will receive this link by email on April 15.
How to Earn Raffle Tickets:
Share the link to your personal fundraising page (the one that has your name and grade level on it – find it by following the steps above) with friends, family and neighbors. For every $25 that you raise in donations to your page by Sunday night, May 5, you will receive 1 raffle ticket when you check in for the Color Run on May 9.
- For example, if you raise $100, you will receive 4 raffle tickets. To calculate the number of tickets that you can expect to receive, take your online fundraising total and divide it by 25.
Raffle tickets are not being sold. The only way to earn them is to get donations to your personal fundraising page.
How to Get Donations:
Ask your friends, family, neighbors, etc. to support our school by donating to your personal fundraising page (the one that has your name and grade level on it).
Tips for Getting Donations:
- Post a clickable link to your personal fundraising page (the one that has your name and grade level on it) on Facebook, Instagram, etc. Ask your parents, family, friends, neighbors to also share this link on their social media accounts so that their friends can also donate to your page. Be sure to thank your donors!
- Send the link to your personal fundraising page (the one that has your name and grade level on it) to friends, family, neighbors, etc. via email or text and ask them to give you a small donation. Don’t forget to also send Thank You’s to anyone who donates.
- Create a QR code that directs people to your personal fundraising page. You can do this at https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/. In the URL box, copy and paste the link to your personal fundraising page (the one that has your name and grade level on it). Save this QR code to your phone. When you see your family, friends, neighbors, etc., show them this QR code and ask them to give you a small donation. Don’t forget to thank your donors!

Please make sure to put your tickets into the envelopes immediately before you lose them. They can not be replaced.
Raffle tickets will never be sold and there is no other opportunity to earn them other than the process described above about raising donations.
What to Expect at the Color Run:
The Color Run will take place on the field on Friday, May 9 in the afternoon. Each grade will be released in waves and have about 20 minutes to spend on the course walking or running laps.
The course will be set up on the Kennedy field. As you run / walk laps around the course and come to the color zones, you will get sprayed with non-toxic color dust. If you want to participate, but don’t want to get dirty, please go around the color zones and not through them.
After your grade has had its turn, you will exit the course and can get a snack, take photos in the photo booth, and cheer on your friends in other grades. We will share the link to the photo booth pictures with you after the event. We also hope to have adult volunteers taking photos and will share the link to those.
Conduct at the Color Run:
Students may never touch any of the color dispensing devices (bottles, etc) or the bags of color that may be near the adult volunteers on the course. These are only for the adult volunteers. If a student is caught touching any of these, they will be asked to leave the Color Run course immediately and will no longer be allowed to participate.
