NEW ORLEANS, LA (FreePR.org) -- As anticipation builds for the Big Game, celebrated New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Lewis is joining forces with JAMNOLA, the vibrant cultural hub of New Orleans, to drive fundraising efforts and raise awareness for his newly established Michael Lewis Foundation. This dynamic partnership will unfold on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, from 2 PM to 6 PM, allowing attendees to lend their support to underprivileged families and at-risk youth while immersing themselves in the city’s rich tapestry of art, music, food, and performance through the lens of over 30 local creators.
The Michael Lewis Foundation, which Lewis founded, is committed to delivering essential resources and assistance to disadvantaged families and at-risk youth through a variety of sports and empowerment programs. Lewis, whose journey to the NFL was anything but conventional, credits similar recreational initiatives for instilling discipline and guiding him toward his professional achievements.
"Having grown up in New Orleans, I can attest to the profound impact that community programs can have on young lives," shared Michael Lewis. "Through this collaboration with JAMNOLA, we aspire to create new pathways for the emerging talent within our city."
On February 5, 70% of ticket sales proceeds at JAMNOLA will directly benefit the Michael Lewis Foundation. Guests will have the chance to meet the legendary Saints athlete in person and explore JAMNOLA's 17 exhibits, along with their special “Touchdown 504” experience running from February 1 to February 10.
