GULLEDGE COLOR RUN 2026
Our School’s Biggest Fundraiser of the Year!
OCTOBER 22, 2026
Get ready to run, rally, and raise for Gulledge!
The Gulledge Color Run brings students, families, teachers, and our community together for an unforgettable evening of movement, music, color, and Gator spirit—all while raising funds that directly support our students and school.
Every student can participate by reaching a $35 minimum fundraising goal, and the fun doesn’t stop there. Students can unlock individual fundraising incentives, grades can compete for special rewards, and our entire school can work together toward an epic school-wide goal.

HOW COLOR RUN WORKS
1. REGISTER YOUR STUDENT
Every Gator starts here.
Complete the registration form with your student’s information so we can:
- Create their personal fundraising page
- Track fundraising by student, teacher, and grade
- Make sure they receive the correct Color Run T-shirt size
- Keep families updated on Color Run news and rewards
$35 TO RUN!
Each student has a $35 minimum fundraising goal to participate in the Color Run.
2. FUNDRAISE + EARN AWESOME REWARDS
The more you raise, the more you unlock!
Once registered, every student receives a personal fundraising page they can share with grandparents, relatives, neighbors, family friends, and coworkers.
As students hit fundraising milestones, they’ll unlock increasingly awesome Color Run incentives and rewards.
RALLY YOUR GRADE! 🐊
Your donations can help your entire grade unlock rewards.
Kinder vs. 1st vs. 2nd vs. 3rd vs. 4th vs. 5th — let the competition begin!
Families can make a donation toward their student’s grade-level total, helping that grade climb toward special rewards and bragging rights.
Every contribution counts toward your grade’s progress.
Have Gators in more than one grade?
Spread the love and rally them both! 🐊💗
WE’RE ALL ON ONE TEAM.
$25,000 SCHOOL-WIDE GOAL

Resources that encourage strong readers and a lifelong love of learning.
🌟 Student Enrichment Opportunities
Programs and experiences that extend learning beyond the classroom.
✏️ Classroom Supplies & Learning Tools
Helping our teachers give students the resources they need to succeed.
💡 Meaningful Learning Experiences
Creating memorable opportunities that make learning come alive.
❤️ And Much More
Supporting the programs, people, and experiences that help our Gators learn, grow, and thrive.
