New Orleans’ Saints defensive end Cam Jordan is donating to the victims of the Terror attack that took place in the city’s French Quarter during the early hours of New Year’s Day.
On X, the NFL star said he had donated $25,000 to the Greater New Orleans Foundation, after it had set up the New Orleans New Year’s Day Tragedy Fund in the wake of the attack which killed 15 people and left another 35 people injured on Bourbon Street.
“I am joining @GNOFoundation and the @CityOfNOLA by donating $25,000 to the New Year’s Day Tragedy Fund to support victims of the attack,” Jordan wrote. “Please consider donating to assist the families of those who lost their lives and those who were severely injured.”
Prior to announcing his support of the fund, Jordan expressed his shock at the tragic events on X.
“Woke up to texts about what happened on bourbon street last night, God bless! A pure tragedy, sorry to all those lives that were affected,” Jordan said.
The fund is a partnership between the Foundation and the City of New Orleans for the families of those who lost their loved ones, according to the fund’s description.
“The Greater New Orleans Foundation joins the City of New Orleans and fellow community partners to launch the New Orleans New Year’s Day Tragedy Fund to assist the victims and survivors of the 2025 New Year’s Day mass casualty incident,” the description reads.
