The RescYou Fest is more than just a community event-it's a day of remembrance, celebration, and connection. Hosted by The RescYou Group, this family-friendly festival brings people together to honor the lives of children who have passed away while providing hope and support for grieving families.
This year's event will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Blackham Coliseum in Lafayette, LA.
Guests can expect a fun-filled day featuring family booths, circus performers, a scavenger hunt, cook-off, kids' games, food, music, and prizes. Each family booth is uniquely themed around a child's personality and includes an interactive game with a prize, giving attendees the chance to celebrate that child's legacy in a meaningful way.
While the day is full of laughter, fun, and community spirit, it also carries a deeper purpose. The RescYou Fest shines a light on the importance of supporting families who are navigating the unimaginable loss of a child. It creates space to remember, to celebrate, and to remind families that their children will never be forgotten.
The mission of The RescYou Group is to provide financial aid for end-of-life expenses and offer emotional support for families who have suffered the loss of a child from one year of age to seventeen years old. By attending, sponsoring, or volunteering, you are helping us continue this mission and extend comfort and hope to families who need it most.
