The University of California CalFresh Nutrition Education Program supported Ezekiel Balderas Elementary School during their Character Counts Community Color Run on October 20, 2016. UC CalFresh provided an interactive Rethink your Drink display and Hydration Station.

The Color Run celebrated Fresno Unified School District's Character Counts Week! Participating students were issued a Color Run T-shirt and were painted in the 6 character count pillar colors. The Color Run was a huge success, with 300 tickets sold!
