The Saints Giving Back Again

[MsMarvel73]

Was working out earlier with NFL Total Access on the TV...

The Saints have decided to auction off a championship ring with all proceeds going to help all the Louisianans hurt by the oil spill. They'll close the auction and announce the winner during the pre-game stuff at the opener against the Vikings.


Very cool.

I read about this online, too. Very, very cool stuff.

I'm almost tempted to throw my name in the hat for the auction and donate. Aside from it being a championship ring for another team, it's still a Super Bowl ring [i]and[/i] it's for a good cause.

My donation would have to be a little one, me the poor broke park ranger!

Raffle tickets start at $2 with a possible minimum of $10 (5 tickets) per person, so that's not too bad. And, of course, you can always donate whatever amount you'd like beyond that. I'm tempted...

Oooooooo that's not bad. I'm really tempted too!

This is why I like the Saints. I don't really cheer for them on gameday, but they've shown to be a classy team that you can't help but respect. It's nice to see a team give back to their community, especially one that's been hit so hard the past few years as Louisiana/New Orleans.
