VENTNOR – Members of the Ventnor City Education Foundation are getting ready for the second annual Color Run being held 9 a.m. Saturday, May 4 at the Ventnor Educational Community Complex.

In addition to the color run, the VCEF has several fun activities planned for participants, including a dance-off, hula hoop contest and best dressed individual and group contests. Fee-based activities include face painting and super cool color run sunglasses. Chick-fil-A biscuits will be for sale in the morning along with complimentary coffee for the volunteers.

Proceeds of the event will fund student scholarships and teacher mini-grants. Longer range endeavors may include specialized equipment and special student trips and activities. The foundation raised $3,850 during last year’s run, which helped to provide four teach mini-grants.

The non-profit VCEF was founded in 2017 to enhance educational and recreational experiences for students of the Ventnor public schools.

Registration is $15 for children, $20 for adults in advance’ $25 on the day of the event. Register at colorrun.thevcef.com.

Volunteers are needed to help at the color stations and for setup, registrations and cleanup. Sponsorships are available.

To sponsor the event or volunteer, email foundation President Brittany Czekai at bczekai@veccnj.org or Treasurer Xan Grant at xangrant@gmail.com
