Dec. 28: Drew Brees and the Brees Dream Foundation announced today a $100,000 contribution to the 9th Ward Field of Dreams.

"Once constructed this facility will be the first public space of its kind in New Orleans, serving as a true community space in every sense of the word," said 9th Ward Field of Dreams founder Brian Bordainick. "Drew's commitment to our organization illustrates the fact that together we can create lasting change, and push this great city forward," Bordainick continued.
