In anticipation of broadcasting Super Bowl LIX from New Orleans, FOX Corporation has announced a substantial charitable contribution exceeding $400,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana. This commitment, facilitated through FOX Forward and the FOX Sports Gamechanger Fund, aims to empower the next generation of leaders in the New Orleans area.

This week, FOX Sports CEO and Executive Producer Eric Shanks, along with FOX NFL Reporter Kristina Pink, will formally present the donation to Angel Nelson, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana. The funds will support ten clubs across the state, focusing on career preparation and facility upgrades. Notably, the New Orleans tech center will receive much-needed modernization for the 21st century.

A key aspect of this partnership is the implementation of CareerLaunch, a Boys & Girls Clubs of America program designed to guide teenagers in exploring career options and making informed educational decisions. FOX's investment will also provide new laptops, upgrade wireless systems, and purchase sports equipment to better engage the organization's 1,500 youth members.

FOX Forward is also extending its support to 400 military-connected youth at the Boys & Girls Club located on Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans. This initiative will bolster the existing Life and Workforce Readiness programming, offering financial literacy education and career pathway exploration.

Furthermore, several scholarships will be awarded to BGCMLA youth. The FOX Forward Military Youth Scholarship, a novel offering, will be granted to teens completing the Teen Employment Program. The FOX Sports Super Bowl LIX Scholarship will support BGCMLA's representatives in the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Youth of the Year and Military Youth of the Year competitions. To inspire these young individuals, Kristina Pink will lead a panel discussion on career paths in sports media and technology.

The FOX Sports Gamechanger Fund, established in 2020, focuses on supporting non-profit organizations in Super Bowl host cities, with a particular emphasis on underserved youth and military families. This contribution to BGCMLA underscores FOX's commitment to the New Orleans community and the enduring legacy of Super Bowl LIX.
