Melanie Breaux, chairwoman of the Games' steering committee, says that the summer-long event is accruing premier sponsors. Sponsors are still being sought for a number of events and competitions, according to Robert Trahan, chairman of The LegacyFoundation of Acadiana and co-chair of the Games of Acadiana steering committee. And there are plenty of opportunities. The first annual Games will include more than 30 competitions, ranging from Nintendo to tennis, and from cheerleading to skeet shooting, culminating in a day at the Cajundome on Aug. 25, where dozens of events will be staged. Volunteers are needed to run the events.
All donations are welcome.
