Brees told CBS' "Person to Person" in an interview to air Friday that the donation will come through the Dream Foundation he runs with his wife, Brittany. He did not say who will be receiving the donation.

Brees says he and his wife want to give back what's been given to them. They say their foundation will also be donating $2 million to various New Orleans organizations over the next several months.

I only wish I had the character this guy has.

Luckily we gave it to him or a lot of needy people would have received nothing from the Saints organization.

Feeling teary eyed here, all I can say is very good from the
Mr. & Mrs. Brees.
Very good.
Mr. and Mrs. B know what Katrina did to N.O. and the Gulf Coast States.
We here all know exacty how the NE cities look....like a bomb went off. We know of the private and public and company property /businesses destroyed.

I'm surprised that Brittany has anything to do with the Dream Foundation. I thought she was just there to look pretty and spit out babies like a slot machine.

Other sites were saying Drew should not be the highest payed QB in the NFL, till I pointed out to them that he has given 14 million to various charities and veterans causes. Not counting this new donation.
What has their elite QB's given in time and money to the needy?

..and they have the gall to even suggest he's fake or over payed..Brees deserves even more than he's payed because he has the moral character to do what is right with it, and works very hard for it. I think we are the luckiest team in the NFL to have a QB that reflects our own moral upbringing.

Exactly. And all Peyton Manning does is buy into a pizza franchise and gives away free pizza. Suck it, Denver! Our QB is a better human than your QB!
