Lace up and join the Lafayette tradition that supports local education!
The annual <a href="https://lafayettechamber.org/resrun/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Lafayette Res Run for Education</a>, sponsored by the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce and the City of Lafayette, returns on October 18, 2026, bringing the community together for a morning of fitness, fresh air, and philanthropy. Whether you’re a serious athlete or a casual stroller, there’s a distance for everyone: choose from the 5k, 10k, or the family-friendly 2-mile run. Either way, every step you take helps raise vital funds for our local public schools and Chamber programs.
After you cross the finish line, celebrate at the Healthy Lifestyles Fair!
Can’t make it on race day? Take the Virtual Reservoir Challenge from October 11–17.
Cross the finish line feeling good. Sign up today for the 2026 Res Run!

OJC is very excited to present this collaborative musical event featuring Stephanie Crawford! She is an internationally acclaimed singer and that rare bird: a black trans vocal musician in the exceedingly straight jazz world.Born in 1942, she grew up in Detroit, Michigan, during the Golden Age of modern jazz. Always a lover of music, she did not, however, sing in public until she was 36, after working on a Chrysler assembly line and as a short-order cook, and earning a bachelor’s degree in painting from Wayne State University. Along the way, at age 26, she also underwent a new “male-to-female gender reassignment surgery” offered by the University of Michigan.Having studied with renowned bop pianist Barry Harris in New York, she migrated to Paris, where she remained for several years, performing and teaching at prestigious schools of music, various festivals, and venues such as The Duc des Lombards, The Sunset, New Morning, and a host of other establishments, winning the Django D’Or award for Best International Jazz Vocalist. In New York, she has performed in such famed venues as Wigstock, The Pyramid, Sweet Basil, The Blue Note, Jazzmania, and Barry Harris Jazz Cultural Theatre, among others. She is a sublime interpreter of the American and Brazilian songbook, performing in the classic jazz vocal tradition of Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, and Betty Carter.
