Such sad news...
Dear Color Blast Participants,
After closely monitoring the weather forecast and considering the safety of our participants, volunteers, and sponsors, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Color Blast due to the threat of severe storms.
We know many of you were looking forward to this event, and we share your disappointment. However, the safety of our community must come first.
As a fundraising event benefiting GEF, all registration fees are considered charitable donations and are non-refundable. We are working on a possible rain date where you will be automatically registered.
While the event won't take place tonight, we encourage you to bid on our silent auction items https://GEF26.givesmart.com and support these amazing local businesses and vendors who are generously giving back to GEF today:
• Handmade With Love — 10% giveback
• Black Birch Co. — Donating 20% of event sales ONLINE
• Sahale Ale Works— Donating 20% of sales OPENING AT 5
• Wild & Precious Boutique & Collective — Donating 20% of sales until Fri. (mention GEF) & 50% of Blackhawk & Grafton Gear
• The Stillery - Grafton — Donating 10% of all-day sales (mention GEF) OPEN NOW
• Ember Ember Social — Donating 10% of sales plus games and pizza OPENING AT 5
• Sierzant — Half-off bottles of wine and donating a percentage of sales OPENING AT 4
We are incredibly grateful for the support of these businesses, our sponsors, volunteers, and all of you who registered for the event. Your generosity helps GEF continue to support students, teachers, and educational opportunities throughout our community.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Sincerely,
The GEF Color Blast Team
