On May 13, 2026, the New Orleans Saints Youth Sports Development partnered with Hancock Whitney to host a Play Football Experience at Fatima Elementary School in New Orleans.
Community Collaboration in Action
The event welcomed former Saints safety Johnathan Abram, who spent the morning mentoring fifth‑grade students and leading a series of drills on the field.
Students rotated through interactive outdoor stations, from flag‑football scrimmages to agility courses, each designed to reinforce the Play60 message of staying active and healthy.
Throughout the sessions, the children explored topics including the importance of balancing athletics with academics, responsible social‑media use, anti‑bullying strategies, and basic financial literacy.
Hancock Whitney representatives added a hands‑on budgeting workshop, showing the youngsters how to set savings goals and understand the value of money.
School officials praised the collaboration for delivering life‑skill lessons that extend beyond the game, highlighting the community’s commitment to holistic youth development.
