In an effort to raise money for the Celebration Hope Center in Metairie, former New Orleans Saints fullback Heath Evans is putting his Super Bowl ring up for raffle.

Tickets for the chance to win Evans' 14-karat ring, featuring 16 diamonds around the face that represent the 16 wins during the Saints' historical 2009 season, went on sale Monday morning. The Super Bowl XLIV ring, which is worth an estimated $10,000 also has 44 diamonds circling the entire ring.

Raffle tickets are $2 each and a minimum purchase of five tickets is required.

Sales end at noon Sept. 17 and the drawing for the winning ticket will be held shortly thereafter, according to a press release announcing the raffle.

The Celebration Hope Center (HHCD) works to help victims of childhood sexual abuse in the greater New Orleans area through its counseling services.

"This is something I thought about for a long time because I want to continue to help victims of childhood sexual abuse in the New Orleans area," said Evans, who is currently an analyst on the NFL Network.
