Thank you Drew for all the charitable work

Each year since day one, Drew Brees meets with local businesses to discuss the needs in our community.

They zero in on something, raise the money, and then get the project completed.

Brees was asked why they do it and he answered that someone has to do the work.

Each and every year this humble man goes about the business of helping our needy.

Most of the time his charitable work goes unnoticed.

Sure he recently donated $5 million and it got some good press, but the measure of this man has been to roll up his sleaves and make our city a better place for everyone.

Drew Brees is more than a football player. He is a true philanthropist that loves helping people.

There are many ways to fight injustice in our society.

Drew Brees goes about the duty of helping his fellow man in the quiet of the night and seeks nothing more than to fulfill this mandated calling from the higher power.

Thank you for your service and good works.

You opened my eyes to the joy of helping others.

New Orleans is forever grateful and you will always be one of our own.

Other Saints players will come and go, but I will always remember the man, the human being, the wonderful soul, the kind heart, and the uniquely inspirational person that helped heal and rebuild our great city.
