Getting RAD for RMH!


            The sisters of Alpha Delta Pi were able to host Lexington’s first Color Me Rad 5K at the University of Kentucky’s Commonwealth Stadium on March 2, 2013. With more than 5,000 runners and coming close to selling out, this event was a huge success and we hope to make it a tradition in Lexington.
            Thousands of runners covered head to toe in white clothing arrived early in the morning for this race. At the many “color stations,” their white clothing turned into vibrant shades of pink, orange, blue, and purple. By the end of the race, everyone was smiling and enjoying the burst of color they had just experienced.
            For ADPi, this event was not only a great opportunity to volunteer and serve the community, it was also important for our philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House. Color Me Rad hosts 5Ks all over the country to raise money for different charities and organizations. Through this incredible event, we were able to donate more than $14,000 to the Ronald McDonald House!
            We were extremely proud of being able to host such an incredible event and raise so much money for our philanthropy. Color Me Rad is an amazing organization that does so much to give back to the community. We hope to make this event a tradition that the Lexington community looks forward to each year!
