Ms. Gayle Benson Announces Donation for New Desire Campus
To conclude her annual “Month of Giving” efforts, New Orleans Saints and Pelicans Owner and Pelicans Governor, Gayle Benson, announced today a transformational gift to the Good Shepherd School (GSS). The gift will help the Good Shepherd School launch a second location on Desire Street, which will be called The Gayle and Tom Benson Good Shepherd School – Giving Hope Campus.
"Education is the key that unlocks a world of possibilities,” said Gayle Benson. “In supporting the Good Shepherd School, my hope is to provide the children of New Orleans with not just an education, but a foundation for a future filled with promise and potential. Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and through a faith-based education, we can empower our young people for generations to achieve their goals. I believe in the work and mission of the Good Shepherd School and as they look to expand into another area of town (Desire-Florida) to further impact more children and families, I thought this was an important time to act.”
The Good Shepherd School's consistent track record in nurturing academic achievement, fostering college attendance, and ensuring success beyond graduation reflects its unwavering commitment to empowering its students for a brighter future.
“At a time when inner city Catholic schools are closing at an alarming rate throughout the country, Good Shepherd School is defying the odds and opening a second campus in the Desire-Florida community in conjunction with the Giving Hope Foundation,” said Thomas G. Moran, Jr., President and CEO of Good Shepherd School. “This could not be done without the faith-filled generosity of Mrs. Benson, who serves as a shining example to others of what it truly means to be a partner in the Good Shepherd mission.”
