As a lead up to the York Suburban High School Mini-THON on Friday, February 19, 2016, the Student Council sponsored a Color Clash on Saturday, October 24.

Students, adults — and even dogs — ran the 1.3-mile course  through the high school neighborhood.  At various stations along the way the runners were dusted (or pelted) with brightly colored corn starch that clung to their white T-shirts.  Each participant paid a fee to enter the race.  

Following the colorful run, a Color Clash Carnival was held behind the school that featured a bounce house, face painting, arts and crafts, team games, and food.

All the money raised will go towards the Mini-THON total, with the money going to the Four Diamonds Fund at Hershey Medical Center for the treatment and research of pediatric cancer.
