The Brees Dream Foundation was founded in 2003 and is a reliable source of charitable funding globally. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for cancer patients and provide care, education and opportunities for children and families in need. Since their inception 12 years ago, they have contributed over $25,000,000 to charitable causes globally. They would not be where they are today without the endless support from their many partnerships and from those who donate to their cause daily.

Audubon Nature Institute is a 501(c)3 not for profit that operates a family of ten museums and parks dedicated to nature. We serve our visitors, our community and our world as an educational resource, an environmental guardian, a leader in economic development and a venue for family entertainment.

Brees is on pace for the lowest touchdown total (23) and lowest yards per game (274.5) of his 12-year tenure with the Saints. On the flip side, he is on pace for his lowest interception total (seven) and the highest completion percentage in NFL history (71.7). His passer rating (104.3) and yards per attempt (8.1) are also among his personal best.
