This year, the Kappa Delta chapter at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette will be hosting its annual Shamrock Fun Run in support of Faith House of Acadiana and Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA)! Our big event will take place on March 21st, 2026 at 10 a.m. at the Intramural Complex at UL Lafayette. We will provide free food and drinks, raffle prizes, games, live music, local vendors, and so much more! The run itself is one mile long, and participants may run, jog, or leisurely walk the route. 80% of all event proceeds will stay right here in our own community to fund the incredible work done by Faith House of Acadiana. Without your generosity, Faith House of Acadiana would not be able to help survivors of domestic violence in the extraordinary ways that they do. The remaining 20% of event proceeds will go to Prevent Child Abuse America, which is the leading advocate for preventing child abuse and neglect among our nation’s children since 1972. Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 to
support these amazing causes, so every bit of your support is greatly appreciated! We are looking forward to seeing you on March 21st!
