Earlier today, the New Orleans Saints announced their 2025 50/50 Raffle initiative beneficiaries.
Now entering its tenth season, the 50/50 Raffle has become a cornerstone of the Saints’ philanthropic efforts, supporting a diverse array of charitable causes and nonprofit organizations throughout the region.
During the 2025 season, proceeds from the 50/50 Raffle will benefit more than 10 nonprofit organizations across Louisiana, each of which plays a vital role in serving local communities. At every home game in the Caesars Superdome, a different nonprofit will be spotlighted, with a portion of raffle ticket sales directly supporting the featured organization.
The 2024 season marked a record-breaking year, with $627,794 raised and distributed to charitable partners—an achievement made possible through the unwavering support and generosity of Saints fans. Building on this momentum, the Saints have set an ambitious goal to surpass last year’s total and continue growing the program’s positive impact
Saints owner Gayle Benson said, “We are deeply grateful to our fans for their continued support of the 50/50 Raffle. These contributions directly empower organizations doing critical work in our communities, and we look forward to another season of meaningful partnerships and record-setting generosity.”
