| | Lafayette Res Run for Education - T-shirt Design Announcement! | | |
“From acorn to oak tree, Lafayette is age friendly.”
Our community prioritizes creating indoor and outdoor spaces that respect and embrace residents of all ages and abilities, providing accessible, affordable, and fun activities for all generations to feel valued. This year's t-shirt was designed by Eden Hall and inspired by the City of Lafayette’s commitment to be age friendly.
T-Shirt Designer Spotlight:
Eden Hall is a sophomore at Princeton University and Vice President of All Ages Recreation Downtown (AARD), a nonprofit bringing free recreation to Downtown Lafayette while raising money for two new parks. She loved attending Lafayette schools and graduated Acalanes in 2024. Her childhood downtown was the driving force behind her decision to study Architecture and Urban Studies with the goal to create walkable, vibrant, accessible, and age-friendly cities. In her free time, she is an Army ROTC cadet and on Princeton's Belly Dancing Company.
