Central Piedmont Cosmetology Brings Spirit To PurpleStride 5K
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 the Central Piedmont Cosmetology students for making a colorful difference and supporting such an inspiring event.
