The Games of Acadiana was founded in 2001 for the sole purpose of funding and supporting Miles Perret Cancer Services. The Games consists of Game Day and a series of Stand Alone events.
Game Day, the major event of our season, will be on Saturday, August 15, 2009, at the Cajundome in Lafayette. It will have over 40 fun filled Game Day events for participants to showcase athletic, scholarly, musical, culinary and just plain wacky talents. Admission to Game Day is free, but donations are always welcomed.
Our Stand Alone events include:
Reaux for Miles - April 4th
Kicks for Miles - April 18th
Swim Classic - May 16th
Sporting Clays Shoot - May 30th
Mini-Triathlon - Aug. 15th
Game Day - Aug. 15th
Camellia Crossing Night Run/Walk - Nov. 25th
Golf Tournament - Spring 2010
They are held throughout the year in locations around Acadiana. Admission fees to Stand Alone Events vary by event.
How does The Games raise money?
Two ways. First, we enlist local businesses and individuals to generously sponsor each Game Day event and each Stand Alone event. Second, we also accept admission fees (from Stand Alone events) and donations, small and large, from our participants and supporters.
Who decides how the money raised will be spent?
The Board of Miles Perret Cancer Services, which is comprised of a group of individuals from the medical, business, and philanthropic community of Acadiana. The Board is guided in these decisions by a group of medical professionals with the knowledge of the causes, prevention, and treatment of cancer, as well as the needs of cancer patients and their families.
