While the Saints and Falcons are no strangers to intense competition on the football field, they are demonstrating that they can put aside their rivalry for a greater cause. The 50/50 raffle initiative provides fans with the opportunity to actively support the noble missions of Steve Gleason and Tim Green, all while enjoying the thrilling competition on gameday.
Steve Gleason, a revered New Orleans Saints legend, continues to be a symbol of strength and resilience in the face of ALS. His foundation tirelessly works to enhance the lives of individuals living with ALS by providing critical equipment, technology, care services, and life adventures. Through this unique partnership, Saints and Falcons fans can stand together in unwavering support of this crucial cause.
Tim Green, an Atlanta Falcons legend and accomplished author, has utilized his platform to support various charitable endeavors, including initiatives that empower young people and encourage literacy. Participating in the 50/50 raffles allows fans to contribute to his Tackle ALS initiative in partnership with Mass General Hospital and aid its efforts to develop therapies that repair or reverse damage caused by ALS and ultimately prevent the disease entirely.
"We're excited to continue this incredible partnership and build on the success of the first game in Atlanta," said Dennis Lauscha, President of the New Orleans Saints. Greg Beadles, President of the Atlanta Falcons, added, "Putting our rivalry aside to raise awareness for ALS and create a lasting impact off the field is a testament to the true spirit of collaboration and compassion."

About Tackle ALS
Tackle ALS was started in 2018 by former Atlanta Falcons Linebacker Tim Green in partnership with the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Tackle ALS is not a foundation, so every dollar donated goes directly to MGH. Tackle ALS and the Healey & AMG Center are dedicated to the critically important global initiative to accelerate bringing scientific discoveries to ALS patients through innovative trial approaches. Increasing access to effective treatments for people with ALS is a primary shared goal. Identifying effective therapies during these trials brings us closer to FDA approval and the opportunity to make a difference for individuals living with ALS, and our ultimate goal of finding the cures.
