Turn Your Color Run Into a Fundraising Success

Blaze Raise gives schools, teams, PTAs, and organizations two different options to raise more for their color run with the tools, support, and supplies to make it a success.

Planning a color run fundraiser should feel exciting, not overwhelming. That is why we created Blaze Raise.

Blaze Raise helps schools and organizations raise money around their color run event with two fundraising options:

Registration-Based Fundraising for groups that want to manage event signups and fundraising in one place

Whether you are organizing a school color run, team fundraiser, PTA event, or community fun run, Blaze Raise gives you the tools and support to make it easier.



We give you templates, scripts, and tools to actually make this easy.
