St. Paul Catholic Secondary School is proud to announce the success of its 2025 Colour Run, held on June 5 raising $10,952.26 in support of Trenton Memorial Hospital’s Emerge Stronger Campaign.
This year’s colourful celebration included five colour stations, where participants were showered with bright coloured chalk as they made their way through the course. The event brought together students and staff for a lively day focused on community, teamwork, and giving back.
Proceeds from the Colour Run will go directly toward the purchase of a new stretcher for TMH, an essential piece of equipment that supports patient care.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in and donated to the St. Paul’s Colour Run. With your support, over $10,000 was raised for a much-needed stretcher at TMH. We are so thankful for our continued partnership with St. Paul’s,” said Makayla Mior, Development Coordinator, Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation.
The Colour Run is organized every other year by a dedicated student committee under the guidance of teacher, Scott Hoogkamp.
“The Colour Run is a great event that I love being a part of and help putting on. The support we receive from our staff, our students, and our community is incredible and truly shows how amazing the St. Paul family really is. I am already excited for picking a new group of student leaders and planning for the next one!” – Scott Hoogkamp, Teacher Organizer at St. Paul
“I enjoyed organizing and participating in the colour run, the event was very special in the sense that I know our money fundraised goes to a well-deserving place that actually impacts our local lives. What could be better than raising money for a great cause and having some fun along the way?” – Kiera O’Malley, Colour Run Team Student Member
The Emerge Stronger Campaign is focused on enhancing services and equipment at Trenton Memorial Hospital to ensure the facility continues to meet the growing needs of the community.
St. Paul’s Catholic Secondary School thanks all participants and donors who helped make this event such a colourful, and meaningful, success.
