New Orleans Saints and NFL Pledge $1 Million to Support Victims of Terror Attack

The donation follows a New Year's Day truck attack in New Orleans that left 14 dead and dozens injured in what authorities have called an ISIS-inspired act of terrorism.

The New Orleans Saints and the NFL Foundation have committed $1 million to aid victims of the New Year's Day truck attack in New Orleans' French Quarter.
Saints owner Gayle Benson announced a $500,000 donation from the team, with the NFL Foundation matching the amount to bring the total to $1 million.
The funds will be distributed through partnerships with the Greater New Orleans Foundation and United Way to support victims and their families directly.
The attack, carried out by 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran, killed 14 people and injured 35; authorities have labeled it an act of terrorism inspired by ISIS.
President Biden plans to visit New Orleans to meet with families and community members affected by the tragedy, as vigils and memorials continue across the city.
