We want to thank Carly .magnolia.studio for knocking it out the park again with this logo!! Time and time again she amazes us with her ability to take our ideas and formulate a logo, branding, and a website at the drop of a hat.
What’s RISE Acadiana you ask???
Let us tell you!
👇👇👇👇👇👇
new nonprofit created to give back to our community—starting with those living with Parkinson’s disease.

Our first mission is to ensure every local fighter has access to Rock Steady Boxing Acadiana, a research-backed program proven to improve mobility, balance, strength, and quality of life.

But for some, cost can be a barrier.
That’s why we created Sponsor a Boxer—so no one is ever turned away because of financial need.

Your donation can:
• Provide scholarships for fighters in need
• Supply gloves, gear, and safe equipment
• Support outreach for those newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s

Every dollar stays right here in Acadiana, supporting local families and local fighters.

Thank those behind the scenes this season!💙

🌟 Honoring Care Partners this November 🌟
Did you know November is National Care Partners Month?

🤍Not all heroes wear capes… Some wear boxing gloves, and some carry the gloves. 🥊💙 This Thanksgiving week, we want to give a special shout-out to the amazing care partners—the family, friends, and loved ones—who stand by those living with Parkinson’s every day. Your strength, patience, and love make all the difference. Take a moment this week (and every week) to show gratitude to the heroes in your life. ❤️

UPDATE!!! The signs are up!!! Service has been underway for over a week now. And ALL is good! I want to share a little bit about our team. Literally almost overnight they made this happen. We were able to say, “Hey crew. We are opening this up. We need all supplies and equipment ordered, and half of the practice moved… in less than a month.” And without blinking they said, “Let’s go.” This is what they do. I will feel forever blessed to be a part of this team and a part of something beautiful happening. So let’s go. There’s way more to come.😉🧡🩵🌷
