"We hope Pamela and her family and friends enjoy the game on Sunday and thank all the fans who helped contribute to our relief fund," said Owner Tom Benson. "The people of the Gulf South always rally around each other in times of need and the number of tickets we sold is a testament to that. We hope people purchase raffle tickets for the Hornets package, as well, as they have a chance to win the ultimate NBA experience and in the end we are able to give back to our region"

Hurricane Isaac, a slow-moving tropical system, made landfall on August 30, 2012 and severely impacted the Gulf Coast region, including New Orleans, for the better part of 48 hours. Neighboring communities of New Orleans, such as Plaquemines Parish, LaPlace, Braithwaite and Madisonville, among others, were particularly negatively impacted by Hurricane Isaac.

In recent years, the New Orleans Saints, under Benson's direction, have raised significant relief monies for the victims of Hurricane Katrina (2005), as well as those affected by an oil spill in the nearby Gulf of Mexico (2010) that resulted in the team raffling off an official Super Bowl XLIV Super Bowl ring, with over $1,000,000 dollars being distributed to various charities.
