Central Piedmont’s Cosmetology students brought color, creativity, and spirit to the PurpleStride 5K this past Saturday by volunteering their talents! ✨

Students helped participants get race-day ready by applying hair tinsel and purple spray color—all to raise awareness and support the fight against pancreatic cancer.

💜 Highlights from PurpleStride 2025:

👟 1,288 participants showed up strong and proud
🎗️ 45 survivors celebrated and honored
🤝 142 teams rallied together for an incredible cause
💸 $224,885 (and counting!) raised to fight pancreatic cancer

Thank you to our Cosmetology students for making a colorful difference and supporting such an inspiring event!
