August 26, 2016 // Franchising.com // BATON ROUGE, LA – When you run the ultimate sports bar, and Drew Brees is one of your owners, putting together the “Ultimate Louisiana Football Weekend” seems like a natural.
Fans of the All-Pro quarterback and his favorite sports bar, Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar, are invited to enter an online charity raffle to win an incredible weekend football package featuring tickets to both an LSU and New Orleans Saints game, a private tour of the Saints training facility, a meet-and-greet with Drew Brees himself, and much more.
Just imagine the memories you and your three guests will create during this four-day football feast:
Raffle tickets must be purchased by 12 noon CT on Wed., Sept. 21. Prices and complete rules can be found at walk-ons.com. 100% of the proceeds from raffle ticket sales will be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. The winner will be chosen Sept. 21.
“Culture, food and football are three words that perfectly sum up a true Louisianan and this sweepstakes covers it all,” said Brandon Landry, co-founder and owner of Walk-On’s Enterprises. “We really appreciate all of the support we receive from our guests so we thought it would be fun to team up with Drew to offer a one-of-a-kind experience for some lucky winners. We are especially excited to partner with the Boys and Girls Clubs to help support the life changing work they do in our communities.”
Baton Rouge-based Walk-On’s – voted “Best Sports Bar in North America” by ESPN – now has eight locations throughout Louisiana – three in Baton Rouge and one each in New Orleans, Lafayette, Houma, Shreveport and Lake Charles. Other locations are on the way in Zachary, Covington, Alexandria, Bossier City and Metairie, as well as Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Lubbock and Tyler, Texas. Several additional markets across the Southern United States are likewise on the drawing board.
