Brees Dream Foundation to donate $5M to Oschner Health

For the second time in less than six months, New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees and his wife Brittany are donating $5 million through the Brees Dream Foundation.

Through a partnership with Ochsner Health, the goal is to support health care throughout under-served communities in Louisiana.

The donation will help fund the creation of community health centers in Louisiana, the first of which is being built in New Orleans East later this year. “COVID-19 has changed nearly everything. From the way that we work, to how our kids learn, to the way that we play football. And as we work through one of the greatest challenges of our lifetimes, our health and wellness has never been more important. The Brees Dream Foundation is proud to commit 5 million dollars to support healthcare in Louisiana. In partnership with Ochsner Health, we will create community health centers in underserved communities throughout the great state of Louisiana.”

Back in March, Brees also pledged $5 million to coronavirus relief efforts.
