The Montevallo Chi-Omega Chapter held their second annual Color Me Chi-O this past Saturday.

Despite a frosty start to the day the run had a great turnout of over 180 participants said Joie Hale, who was in charge of the event.

The run consisted of three laps around the Student Activity Center on Montevallo’s campus. Throughout the course there were four different color stations where color throwers created clouds of color. 

If you didn’t get enough color from the race, however, you could also get your face painted for free.

The race wasn’t just for fun however, the proceeds from the run will be going to help sponsor a child through Make-A-Wish Alabama. Hale, who is also the philanthropy chair for Chi Omega, had a special interest in Make-A-Wish.

“I feel like it’s my purpose, and like my mission, to grant this money to these children, and do all we can to make that happen for them,” Hale said.

Chi Omega will also have philanthropy events in the Spring.
