On Tuesday, October 19th, several New Orleans Saints players including S Malcolm Jenkins, S Usama Young, LT Jermon Bushrod, P Thomas Morstead, S Pierson Prioleau and RT Zach Strief, owner/executive vice-president Rita Benson LeBlanc, the club's community affairs and youth programs staff and over 100 students participated in the "Hoemtown Huddle" event in conjunction with the NFL's "Play 60" campaign.
In partnership with the United Way and Mary Queen of Vietnam Community Development Corporation in support of the initiative, the New Orleans Saints have purchased brand new indoor fitness equipment, including hydraulic machines designed for children. The equipment will give the students at the Intercultural Charter School in New Orleans East a fun opportunity to be active.
On Tuesday, the players and the children used the hydraulic fitness equipment, wave rowers, stability balls, hula hoops and yoga mats* *in the comfort of their own school, with all the games and equipment provided by New Orleans Saints.
