Our partnership with the Brees Dream Foundation (founded by NFL quarterback Drew Brees and his wife Brittany) to raise money for children’s projects in New Orleans has been a great success. Thanks to the generosity of our donors (individual, corporate and foundation) we have raised more than $1.65 million to rebuild including parks, playground facilities, academic programs, child care facilities, after-school programs, mentoring programs and athletic facilities in New Orleans.
Thanks to recent, substantial gifts from corporate, foundation and individual donors, we have only $175,000 to go!
We still need to fund important after-school programs at 7 schools provided by New Orleans Outreach, and assist Best Buddies Louisiana in its efforts to provide mentoring programs for intellectually disabled students in New Orleans. These are critical projects…and we need your help!
