The Saintsations are one of the NFL's premier dance teams. With an "All-American" image, the Saintsations have catapulted into becoming America's favorite cheerleaders. In addition to performing at the Saints home games, the team makes hundred of charity appearances a year. The Saintsations have traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan to visit our troops, and to Mexico City and London to promote the NFL. They have appeared on the Bill O'Reilly show, Fox and Friends, the CBS Early Show, Dr. Phil show, and on national television commercials.

This highly recognized and respected group of women serve as goodwill ambassadors for the NFL and the Saints organization. Members perform at many exciting events and make numerous personal appearances including modeling and public speaking throughout the world. Additionally, the team supports community projects through the "Saintsations Inspiration Program." The primary focus of the 2010 program is to promote positive initiatives geared toward women and children
