West Vigo Community Center hosts annual color run in support mental health awareness
WEST TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – The West Vigo Community Center held their annual Color Run to kick off summer break for the kids.
Nearly 30 kids participated in the half-mile long race filled with many color stations that included color powder, paint, and even slime.
With the month of May being Mental Health Awareness month, the community center wanted to shed a light on mental health by having the run on the last day of the month, and to serve as a reminder for the kids there is always someone to talk to.
'The center is always here,' said David Elkins, the President of West Vigo Community Center. 'Just talk to somebody, if you have any problems. It's not good to have and keep everything inside. If they need anything or anybody to talk to the center is always here.'
All of the proceeds from the event go to directly back into supporting the West Vigo Community Center. The center plans to host another color run event in the fall. Also, the West Vigo Community Center is hosting their golf scramble on June 27th.
