"This event represents everything we stand for - bringing the community together while investing in our city and its young people," said Davis. "New Orleans has always been there for us, and now it's our turn to be there for New Orleans."

This year's Dining for Dreams supports the foundation's launch of "Fueling Dreams," its most significant community investment yet, committed to impacting over 5,000 people in New Orleans. The initiative includes micro-grants to local small businesses and nonprofits throughout the Saints season, mentoring young leaders through a partnership with The 18th Ward, and bringing families together through holiday events and food pantry support.

Partnership opportunities for the event range from Bronze level ($2,500) to Presenting Partner ($20,000), with benefits including VIP tickets, Saints game tickets, social media promotion, and personal appearances with Davis. In-kind partnerships are also available for companies interested in supporting gift bags or donating auction items.
