Calling All Saints Fans! Community | February 1st, 2010
by Jesyka Bartlett
On October 25, 2009, just hours before the Saints beat the Dolphins at Miami, a group of Mudbug Media employees got up way too early on a weekend to walk City Park for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. We raised some money, had some fun and felt pretty good about supporting a cause we believe in.
On February 7, 2010, we’re hoping and praying (and knocking wood and …) that the Saints will be winning another game in Miami.
The Indianapolis chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation has challenged the New Orleans chapter to a fundraising competition to see which city can raise more money for breast cancer research before the big game. You can read more about it – and the 2009 Honorary Race Chair, Rita Benson LeBlanc – at the Komen website.
It’s short notice, but the call has gone out for enough local donations to knock Indianapolis out of this game too. If we can top their donation total by February 7, the New Orleans chapter will send a Saints jersey and a king cake to Indianapolis for taunting and consoling purposes.
In the spirit of superstitious sports behavior and a dedication to Good Deeds, we’re asking every member of the Who Dat Nation to donate whatever they can.
Please go to this site to make your donation today.
Not only will it help establish our dominance over Indianapolis as a city, but every dollar raised will go to advancing breast cancer research.
Everyone wins…except the Colts.
(Apologies to Archie Manning. I’ve cheered those nice Manning boys through some Super Sundays – one of them during the Bacchus ball. It’s our turn, honey. You understand.)
