Gayle Benson Makes $3.5 Million Donation to Local Food Bank
The owner of the New Orleans Saints, Mrs Gayle Benson, has always been known for her charitable contributions. Remember when she paid off $100,000 of lay aways at a local Wal Mart for Christmas? Well, she is honoring her late husband, Tom Benson, with a $3.5 million dollar contribution to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana.. The one year anniversary of Mr Benson's death was March 15th, and officials are saying it is the largest contribution to Second Harvest in their 37 year history.
Thanks you, Mrs Benson, for being such a wonderful representative of the great state of Louisiana!
