New Orleans Saints and Pelicans Gulf Coast Renewal Fund focus donations on hard hit areas

Gayle Benson: "We must rely on those on the frontlines in these communities to let us know in real time what they need"

Since New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Gayle Benson announced the launch of the Saints and Pelicans Gulf Coast Renewal Fund including a $1 million donation on August 30, nearly $5 million has been raised to support New Orleans and the surrounding communities in wake of Hurricane Ida.

"The work continues in our hardest hit areas. We must rely on those on the frontlines in these communities to let us know in real time what they need," said Benson.
