A COLOURFUL RUN at Beaconhills College Berwick Campus has given an early fundraising boost to the school’s Relay for Life campaign, reaping more than $3000 in early donations.
The Berwick Campus Middle School’s huge team of volunteers were busy preparing for the event on Friday 4 March.
In the lead-up to the event, they managed to wrangle in more than $3000.
Last year Beaconhills was that event’s top fundraiser, bringing in $17,919.65 for cancer research.
Middle School teacher Jennifer Roberts said the Colourful Run was a major fundraising event for the team, with 150 families taking part.
Participants could either run a five, three or one kilometre run around the Berwick Campus’s two ovals. There were three stations where volunteer parents and staff threw coloured corn flour and dry food dye onto runners.
“Our Middle School year nine student committee and Senior School Relay for Life captains also played a vital role in registering participants and helping out with the sausage sizzle,” Ms Roberts said.
