Venture Global presents a check donation to the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana at the New Orleans Saints Ochsner Sports Performance Center.
Catch for the Coast was launched during the 2024 NFL season, where Venture Global committed to donating $10 for every receiving yard gained by the Saints towards coastal restoration efforts in Louisiana. The Saints accumulated a total of 3,730 receiving yards this season, resulting in the $37,300 donation from Venture Global.
"As a committed community partner in Plaquemines Parish, along the coast, and throughout the state, Venture Global is proud to support efforts that help protect and restore such vital parts of Louisiana. Initiatives like Catch for the Coast reflect our belief that supporting local programs to better our communities, such as coastal restoration, is key to ensuring a future of strength and growth in Louisiana. Venture Global is committed to being a good neighbor and a long-term partner in the restoration of Louisiana's coast, while providing the world with needed low-cost, reliable American LNG," said Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel.
"Protecting and restoring our coast is one of the most important challenges facing Louisiana today. I applaud Venture Global and the Saints for investing in real solutions that strengthen our communities and preserve our way of life," said Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry.
"Our coast is deeply connected to the identity, culture, and future of our region," said Gayle Benson, Owner of the New Orleans Saints. "We are proud to partner with Venture Global on Catch for the Coast to support the important work being done by CRCL to protect and restore Louisiana's coastline for generations to come."
"Louisiana is losing a football field of coastal wetlands every 100 minutes, jeopardizing the future of our communities, our industries and our culture, but we have science-based methods of fighting back," said Kim Reyher, the executive director of CRCL. "This is our goal-line stand, and we're so grateful to partner with the Saints and Venture Global to protect our future."
