As Mickey Loomis said today: We’re all competitors and compete really hard on the field…but when there’s a crisis, I feel like the NFL family is always one of the first ones to step up. 👏 https://t.co/QjMdIi7vjY
The NFL Foundation will also contribute $1 million to the New Orleans Saints Gulf Coast Renewal Fund.
The Atlanta Falcons and the Baltimore Ravens also contributed $1 million each to the cause.
The NFL Foundation stated it will work in tandem with the New Orleans Saints to identify nonprofit organizations to support those in need throughout Louisiana.
“The entire NFL family stands with those impacted by the storm and will continue to look for additional ways to provide aid and to support the greater New Orleans area and beyond in the months ahead,” the NFL Foundation stated in a news release.
