TOM AND GAYLE BENSON FOUNDATION DONATES TO UNCF

Many HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) across the United States are struggling to stay afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic and existing financial inequities.  New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson donated $1 million to the United Negro College Fund during their New Orleans chapter fundraiser, the "New Orleans UNCF Virtual Mayor's Masked Ball."

Mrs. Benson remarked to the attendees, "UNCF has made a life-changing difference for over 500,000 individuals in our country for more than 76 years by providing scholarship assistance to under-represented students.  While this is an amazing achievement, there are still many more students in need of the programs and college scholarships UNCF helps provide. I am humbled to make this contribution in support of this great organization and the students who will benefit from these scholarships in our community."

"S--- dumb... as hell," Kamara tweeted.
