(New Orleans, Louisiana) On Friday, August 27th, NFL Super Bowl Champions, Darren Sharper and Roman Harper of the New Orleans Saints, are hosting the official Game Night After Party with United Way for the Greater New Orleans Area at Whiskey Blue and the Living Room located inside the W Hotel. This party is being thrown to raise money and bring awareness to the community. United Way and its partners are dedicated to ensuring those affected by the Gulf Coast oil spill have access to information and resources.

Whiskey Blue is hosting the VIP Game Night reception and tickets are being sold on the United Way website for $100 with all proceeds donated directly to United Way. The W Hotel is opening up the Living Room, within the W Hotel lobby, to the public. Everyone is invited to come by to support the cause and have a great time. The celebration and red carpet arrivals begin at 10pm.

When asked why they decided to team up with United Way and host this party, Darren Sharper stated, “This is where I live, a city that has brought me so much joy, I take pride in this city and it is up to each and every one of us to take part in cleaning up our gulf and making a difference!” Roman Harper added, “I want to set an example and let people know that this is still a major issue here and with United Way’s help we all can take part in bringing back the true spirit of Louisiana.”
