The Great Pumpkin Run for Bennett 5k
Saturday, October 24, 2026 at 8:15am
Levy Park, 403 East 3rd Street,
Crowley, LA 70526
We will be hosting a 5k run to benefit Bennett James Guidry, son of David and Joelle Guidry, and the INADcure Foundation.
Bennett was diagnosed with Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD) shortly after his 3rd birthday. A portion of funds raised will help his family purchase necessary medical equipment along with making home modifications to give Bennett the best home environment.
The INADCure Foundation is working diligently with scientists and researchers to develop gene therapy as a possible treatment for INAD (which currently has no treatment options). A large portion of funds raised will go directly to the INADCure Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit foundation, in support of their valiant efforts to cure this terrible, terminal disease. Please visit PumpkinsforBenny.org, for more information regarding INAD and ways to help.
Join us at Levy Park in Crowley from 8am - noon on Saturday, October 24th for a family fun morning. Aside from the 5k, we will have food, activities for the kids, a bake sale, auction/raffle items and music.
