Brittany and I have always tried to address the greatest needs of our communities through our foundation and personal giving. Today we are very excited to announce another donation of $5 million in partnership with @ochsnerhealth to build numerous healthcare centers throughout Louisiana in the communities that need it most. We will continue to bridge the gap to bring healthcare, education, and economic equity to all of our communities. We are proud to bring the first of these health care centers to New Orleans East later this year.

New Orelans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his wife Brittany made waves earlier this year by pledging $5 million towards fighting the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. And now they’ve done it again.

The Brees family announced their follow-up in a post from the future Hall of Fame quarterback’s official Instagram account, detailing their plans to help fund the construction of facilities in partnership with Ochsner Health throughout Louisiana. The first center will be built in New Orleans East.

It’s a huge gesture by Brees and his family, and just the latest example of their philanthropy. He’s given back often throughout his career as a professional athlete, and this is proof that he won’t stop using his resources to help others any time soon.
