New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is typically up to plenty of good during the offseason. This 2018 offseason has been no different, as Brees’ “Brees Dream Foundation” donated $200,000 to help revamp the athletic facilities at Benjamin Franklin High School. The Saints matched that total, bumping it up to $400,000.

This is pretty awesome.
The kids who are involved in sports at Benjamin Franklin High School must be excited to find out what improvements will be made around campus.
It is always fun to cover stories such as these when NFL players put their spare time and resources into things that benefit their local communities. Sports, of course, are near and dear to Brees’ heart.
