New Orleans is enduring one of the most challenging and somber periods in its history after a Muslim terrorist murdered and injured dozens, and local basketball sensation Zion Williamson is remarkably rising to the occasion.

He has generously pledged $100,000 to support the victims of the devastating Bourbon Street terror attack.

This substantial contribution will be directed to the Greater New Orleans Foundation’s Tragedy Fund, aiming to provide much-needed assistance to those affected by the tragedy.

The Pelicans forward opened up on his decision to write the huge check, saying … “As a father, son, and someone who loves this community, this hit me hard. This isn’t just about money – but standing together and making sure no one feels alone.”
