Gail Fundraising at Saints Game

April 28th, 2012 pirategent No Comments »

On 1 January 2012 LCDR Gail Perrin, of the USS Corsair, helped the Greater New Orleans Drum Corps Association (GNO DCA) raise money by selling concessions at the final regular season Saints football game in the Louisiana Superdome. This away mission marked the first time GNO DCA was given such an opportunity. The day started with check in at 07:00 for the volunteers. They were assigned an area shortly thereafter and began prep work to sell nachos to the luck football fans. Gates opened to the public at 10:00, with the crowd picking up at around 11:30. Sales were steady from that point until near the end of the fourth quarter when the area was shut down for clean up. The group finished at approximately 16:45.

While there was quite a bit of work involved, great fun was had by all. Saints fans are always an engaged and enthusiastic group, but even more so when their team is winning. While working, one does not get to see much of the game, but it was possible to occasionally watch for a few moments. More importantly, $300 was raised to support GNO DCA’s programs. Along with an all-age parade group, GNO DCA supports a variety of youth programs for 8 – 21 year olds. They provide instruction in music and marching skills while also teaching concepts such as teamwork and self discipline.
