SAV 2025! Benny's Sensory Activation Vehicle, which we call the SAV for short, is the Beignet Fest Foundation's mobile mission unit! ?? Our goal with this program is to support individuals with sensory needs in the community. The SAV is fully equipped to provide a space of respite and decompression for individuals who may be overwhelmed by the sights, sounds, and crowds of local events. We also have sensory bags available to borrow at events where the SAV is present. Inside the bags, you'll find sound-canceling headphones, fidget toys, and more to help make any experience more enjoyable for all!
