New Orleans Saints quarterback wins burger challenge to benefit
charity DALLAS, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- "He's at the 10, the five
... he could go all the way!" Drew Brees, quarterback of the New
Orleans Saints scored in the Chili's Grill & Bar(R) Smokehouse
Bacon Burger Showdown, earning him $10,000 for his charity, The
Drew Brees Foundation. "It was such an honor to work with Chili's
on this great campaign," said Brees. "I am excited that my burger,
the mouth-watering Southern Smokehouse Bacon Burger won this
contest, and am extremely grateful for the opportunity Chili's has
provided me to give back to my Foundation." The campaign, which
began in late January, allowed guests to go online to Chili's Web
site to vote on their favorite Smokehouse Bacon Burger.
Additionally, guests could enter to win an all-expense-paid trip
for two to any 2008 regular season pro or college football game and
team helmets autographed by Brees, Minnesota Vikings' running back
Adrian Peterson and Philadelphia Eagles' running back Brian
Westbrook. Brees' winning burger, the Southern Smokehouse Bacon
Burger, was up against Peterson's Jalapeno Smokehouse Bacon Burger
and Westbrook's Triple-the-Cheese Bacon Burger, respectively. Each
player was vying for a chance to donate to their charity of choice.
The Drew Brees Foundation provides care, education and
opportunities for children facing adversity. "Chili's greatly
appreciates the participation of these world-class athletes that
helped promote our popular mouth-watering Smokehouse Bacon
Burgers," said Todd Diener, president of Chili's Grill & Bar.
"We are honored that the proceeds from this campaign will serve the
children of New Orleans and continue to strengthen this great
city." About Chili's Smokehouse Bacon Burgers Chili's Smokehouse
