Fun Run

Color Run and The Over the Rainbow After Party

Join the Apex Elementary School Cougars as we kick off the AES COLOR RUN!

This family friendly event gets our students moving during the school day as they run and dance with their classmates, staff, and local mascots. It is also our PTA's main fundraiser with corporate sponsorships, family pledges, and OVER THE RAINBOW AFTER PARTY with a super silent auction and fun raffle prizes. Donations of money, products, tickets, gift cards and experiences are ALL appreciated! We plan to use the money we raise to update classroom technology, provide educational software, and assist teachers with curriculum funds benefitting 550 students from Pre-K to 5th grade.

This year, EVERY STUDENT will receive a Color Run t-shirt, free of charge, to wear during the event! Additional shirts are available for purchase so your run cheer team can cheer in style. Thank you for supporting Apex Elementary School's PTA and helping us shine together!

We are so excited to start together for our biggest, most important PTA fundraiser of the year!

With a goal of $43,000, we raise more than 45% of the PTA’s annual budget through corporate sponsorships, family fundraising, and the silent auction and raffle, which are all part of the Fun Run experience. We can't do it without YOU!!

The PTA dedicates almost 50% of its expenditures to school support, such as covering substitutes for planning time, curriculum funds for classroom expenses, and technology. Your support and participation in the Color Run Fun Run will help us keep providing this crucial support!

Fundraising FAQ

That is a BIG goal! Can we do it?

Yes! We are reaching a little higher than last year but we can do it! This goal includes all the ways the Fun Run raises money: corporate sponsorships, family fundraising, our After-Party silent auction, and our After-Party raffle.

How do I ensure my child’s class gets credit for my donations?

When you donate or purchase signs and adult t-shirts via our online Fundraising Hub, you can “Select a Class” during checkout. Find your student’s teacher in the drop-down menu, and their class will get the credit. You can split the credit between multiple classes just by selecting additional classes. For cash & check donations & purchases, just ensure your student’s teacher’s name is on the form.

Tell me more about the signs and t-shirts:

Signs: The PTA will print and assemble the signs, which will be displayed during your child’s Fun Run on Friday, November 7th.

T-Shirts: Each student will receive a free t-shirt from the PTA. If you wish to purchase an adult shirt, you may do so online at our Fundraising Hub. All adult orders need to be placed by Friday, October 24th. ALL shirts, both students and adults, will go home with students the day before the Fun Run.
