Two Cathedrals – One Team
Join the Saints in Paris

A Once in a Lifetime Luxury, Cultural, & Philanthropic Experience in Paris

This is more than a trip. It is an opportunity to stand at the intersection of culture, philanthropy, sport, and history, and to do so in a way only possible through the leadership and generosity of Mrs. Benson.

Your $100,000 charitable contribution directly supports the restoration of St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, with proceeds divided equally between the two treasured landmarks.

In recognition of this meaningful gift, you will receive access to an extraordinary, curated VIP Saints Experience in Paris, a week of unmatched access, private moments, and unforgettable cultural immersion

WHY THIS EXPERIENCE MATTERS

This is an invitation to stand with Mrs. Benson in support of two cathedrals that define the spirit of two cities — New Orleans and Paris.

It is access to Paris that even seasoned travelers cannot buy: private Mass at Notre-Dame, entry into Chanel’s private apartment, couture-level experiences at Dior, intimate gatherings with NFL leadership, and cultural moments curated at the highest level.

It is philanthropy with purpose — and a week in Paris that will never be replicated.
