Pledge Drive Starts NOW!

September 4-22, 2026

The Color Run Pledge Drive is Russell's biggest fundraiser of the year! This run-a-thon takes place during the school day, where students run with the tossing of brightly colored powders and lots of post-run fun!

This year's goal is $35,000! 

We know our Russell Community can rise to the challenge! All of these funds go directly back to our students' and staff experience. Our families give back to Russell during a two week pledge drive. As students reach certain milestone fundraising efforts, they earn fun incentives and prizes! The funds raised go towards:

🎉Program Enhancements & STEM Opportunities

🎉Classroom Materials & Furniture

🎉Athletic Equipment & Needs

🎉Musical Instruments & Program Needs

🎉Student & Staff Programming & Events

🎉...and so much more!!!

Please consider volunteering your time during our Pledge Weeks. Volunteers will come in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during our Pack Time to help students redeem their earned tickets and generate momentum in our fundraising efforts.

We also need help for the big day! Please consider signing up for the RUN day! We need all hands on deck as we celebrate and have lots of fun!
