This 5K Race and 1 Mile Fun Run takes place in Gypsum, KS. "Color Me Orange" is a powdered color event with all proceeds go to the Roberta Jordan Medical Fund. Roberta was a 1994 graduate of Southeast of Saline High School who survived a rare flesh eating bacteria called Necrotizing Fasciitis. She was hospitalized for 70 days and continues to receive medical care at home. Her hospital bills are insurmountable.
