Lafayette Prepares for Fight Fest: A Community Rally Against Dementia and Parkinson’s

On December 9, Lafayette's Vermilionville will be the battleground for a different kind of fight. The Love of People proudly presents Fight Fest, a unique event designed to raise awareness and funds in the battle against Dementia and Parkinson's. Scheduled for December 9, 2023, from 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM, the event promises an evening of empowerment, entertainment, and community engagement.

Fight Fest is not just an event; it's a clarion call to all fighters – whether they be individuals battling these debilitating conditions, caregivers, healthcare professionals, or simply community members with a heart for the cause. It's an opportunity for the Acadiana community to come together and show that no one faces these challenges alone.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Rock Steady Boxing and Belle’s Tower, two organizations dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by Dementia and Parkinson's.

The funds raised will help bridge the gap in support and resources throughout the region, ensuring access to crucial services and assistance.

The venue, Vermilionville, located at 300 Fisher Rd, Lafayette, LA, is expected to fill with the vibrant energy of locals and visitors alike. Starting at 6:30 PM, the musical ambiance will be set by The Here and Now and Balfa Toujours, promising a lively soundtrack to an evening of solidarity and support.

Adding to the family-friendly atmosphere will be a buffet provided by Tim Metcalf and the team at Prejean's, ensuring that there's something for everyone, from the youngest to the oldest. Gerald Gruenig, a known personality in the community, will host the event, adding a familiar face to the cause.

Tickets for Fight Fest are available at www.loveofpeople.org. This event is not just a fundraiser; it's a statement by the Lafayette community in its ongoing fight against Dementia and Parkinson's.
