My name is Julia Everett and I am the Vice President Philanthropy and Service for Zeta Tau Alpha here on Purdue’s campus. Each year, we hold our annual 5k benefiting breast cancer education and awareness as 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime! We are the largest philanthropy on Purdue’s campus, last year we fundraised over $200,000! This year we would like to make our 5k a color run, Color Me Pink! Please contact me at bmxxxxxx@xxxxl.com or (3XX) XXX-XXX1 for further information! Thank you for helping us in our mission of making 1 in 8, none in 8!

I am interested in finding out more information on doing a Color run to raise money to send vets to Washington DC through the national honor flight. Can you please contact me with information on purchasing color.

In reply to Melissa Knaak. Your event's success is our success! We look forward helping you in every step of the way. Cleaning from sidewalks, parking lots, grass fields, metal bleachers, and most other outdoor surfaces is very easy. If left alone, it will go away from exposure to the natural elements in a week or so. For immediate cleanup, disperse into the air with a leaf blower, and then hose down any remaining color powder from there We are always here to help you with your event's planning. Please contact us herefor more assistance.

In reply to Beth Thomas. As a general rule of thumb, 0.5 – 1lb per participant is a good amount for most events. For more specific calculations, please use our color event powder calculator here

In reply to Rhonda Keith. The two most popular ways of throwing color powder during an event are Dixie cups or squeeze bottles. You can dip your cup into the powder, fill it up, and toss it into the air for the Dixie cup method. However, squeeze bottles have become more popular for their easy handling. Squeeze bottles are easy to use. You point and squeeze. Several customers have reported that it is easier to use, direct it to the runners, and it is less wasteful. You may find some more information here

How do you spray the powder during the event? Do you use some kind of sprayer or gun?

I am having 10 stations for adults and then a mini course for kids. You suggest one pound per person per color/station?
