As part of the series, organisers are offering to bring “colourful gifts to those who deserve a lift to brighten their lives”. ## Nominations now open Schools, organisations and individuals in need can be nominated via the [Run or Dye](http://runordye.co.uk/colour-nomination) website to request gifts for worthwhile causes. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

It could be repainting the local playground, creating a brigh mural for a community space, or even simply arranging for a bunch of flowers to be delivered to someone in need. The closing date for nominations is **30 April 2015**. Run or Dye will then select a number of those in need close to the UK Run or Dye event locations. ## Run or Dye series 2015 ![Run or Dye](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/run-or-dye. jpg) The Run or Dye series starts on 18th April in Manchester and will be followed by at least 14 events around the UK. It is inspired by the Hindu festival of Holi, also known as the ‘Festival of Colours’. Run or Dye gives runners, walkers and those at all speeds in-between the opportunity to experience and celebrate in full colour the thrill of the Festival and introduce the idea of ‘living life on purpose’. Participants can run dressed in white or their favourite and most extravagant costumes. After crossing the finish line, runners, and spectators, can celebrate in the world famous Dye Festival as clouds of brilliant colours are blasted all around. ![Run or Dye](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/run-or-dye- yellow.jpg) The events are: 18th April – Manchester, Platt Fields Park 9th May – North London, Trent Park 16th May – Bath, Bath Racecourse 30th May – Exeter, Great Fulford 6th June – Liverpool, Aintree Racecourse 27th June – Cheshire, Cholmondeley Castle 5th July – Kent, Penshurst Place 11th July – Bournemouth, Kings Park 18th July – Perth, Scone Palace 25th July – Ipswich, Chantry Park 1st August – North Yorkshire, Castle Howard 26th September – Oxford, Cornbury Park 3rd October – South London, Hever Castle 10th October – Derbyshire, Chatsworth House 18th October – Edinburgh, Hopetoun House * **[The corporate team day – success is the stories not the shiny sheds](https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/05/13/the-corporate-team-day-success-is-the-stories-not-the-shiny-sheds/)**( 13 May 2015) * **[Charities fundraising at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2015](https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/06/22/charities-fundraising-at-rhs-chelsea-flower-show-2015/)**( 22 June 2015) * **[Phil Spencer promotes Woolly Hat Day 2016 for homeless people](https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/11/21/phil-spencer-promotes-woolly-hat-day-2016-for-homeless-people/)**( 21 November 2015)
