Introduction

In a generous move, Gayle Benson, the esteemed owner of the New Orleans Saints, is stepping up once again to provide crucial support to those affected by the recent terror attack in New Orleans. The horrific incident, which took place on New Year’s Day, left the community devastated, and Benson, alongside the NFL Foundation, has committed to a substantial donation of $1 million to assist relief efforts.

Benson's Statement

In a heartfelt statement, Benson expressed her sorrow over the tragedy, saying, “Our community has experienced an unimaginable tragedy and our collective hearts are broken as we mourn for the victims and survivors of the New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans. As a league, we may be rivals on the field, but off it, we unite against hatred. We stand firm in our resolve to defeat fear and promote compassion through our actions.”

Philanthropic Efforts

This significant donation is part of a larger philanthropic effort, with Benson already pledging over $4 million to the Greater New Orleans Foundation (GNOF) over the years, including a notable contribution of $1.25 million last July. The funds will be channeled through partnerships with both the GNOF and United Way to ensure they effectively reach those most in need.
