The event was put on by the Elite Dance Academy PAC (Parent Advisory Council) as a fundraiser to help pay for costumes and travel. Participants wore light-coloured shirts and ran around Kitsuksis Dyke, where they were doused in coloured powder.

A dunk tank featured local celebrities, including city councillors Chris Alemany and Denis Sauve, Mayor Mike Ruttan, Dallas Ward of Double R Meats and Chris Turner from Alberni Toyota.
Organizer Danielle Dubé announced on Monday that the PAC made a profit of $8,664.17.
