KELOWNA – It’s the very latest in fundraising and it is extremely colourful.
The Easter Seals Splash of Colour Family Fun Run was held in Kelowna and Vernon Saturday morning.
Over 1,000 people burst through clouds of brightly coloured powder to raise money for Easter Seals Camp in Winfield.
Participants were running, biking and pushing strollers on the 5 km course.
There was an appropriate bunny theme thanks to the event being held on the Easter long weekend.
"We raised approximately $95,000 in total for both cities with Kelowna coming in around $52,000 and Vernon doing extremely well at an estimated $43,000,” president and CEO Easter Seals BC/Yukon Stephen Miller said. “The money we raise in the Okanagan helps Okanagan kids and their families.”
