Colorful Fundraiser Planned for Sunday

A Rainbow Splash Fun Run and Walk is set for Sunday, Aug. 20 at 8 a.m. CT at the Hamlet Fire Station and all of the proceeds will benefit kids in Starke County. The event is part of this year’s Yellowstone Trail Festival.

This is an opportunity to meet with your friends for a morning of fun. Run or walk this event and get splashed with color at points along the route.  Proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit the Starke County Youth Club

Irene Szakonyi from the Starke County Youth Club said sign up is easy.

“You can go to thescyc.org and sign up right online and pay online with a credit card at that location,” said Szakonyi. “You can download the hardcopy forms and send them in by mail if that’s your preference. We’ll have on-site sign-up on the day of the splash.”

The cost is $26 per person. A discount is applied if you have a team of four members.

Szakonyi recommends wearing specific clothing for the event.

“We do recommend that you wear a white shirt because that shows the color the best. There will be stations where color will be spayed on you. You get it in your hair, you get it on your shirt, you get it on your shoes, you get it everywhere! It’s a really good time and a lot of fun.”
