On Saturday, August 1, 2026, New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson will host The Kickoff: Back‑to‑School Giveaway which will provide hundreds of local students with backpacks, school supplies, and access to essential community resources as they prepare for their upcoming school year.
The event will be held at The City of Love, located on 8601 Palmetto Street in New Orleans from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Kickoff is designed to equip students with the tools they need for academic success while strengthening connections between professional athletes, community organizations, and the families they serve.
“Investing in young people extends far beyond the game,” said Chris Olave. “We want students to walk into the new school year feeling prepared and supported.”
