This past weekend in Atlanta, New Orleans Saints defensive end Charles Grant hosted the 3rd Annual Bayou Bling Celebrity Charity Weekend. The ‘bling’ is a fundraising event for at risk youth in Atlanta, New Orleans, and Charles Grant’s hometown, Colquitt, Georgia.

“I am totally committed to making a difference in the lives of youth. There are so many people in need throughout the city of New Orleans and across this nation. My foundation is dedicated to reaching more and more kids through our community outreach programs.”

To cap the weekend, on Sunday night the black carpet was rolled out at The Mason Murer Art Gallery.
Mannie Fresh was among the guests in attendance, along with NFL players by the pound.
