Four years after Hurricane Katrina, George Washington Carver High School’s football team is, like many in New Orleans, still without a home field. Now, with the help of students, community members, and a growing list of companies, the school’s ambitious young athletic director, Brian Bordainick, has raised more than $1 million toward a new multipurpose stadium and field. If they hit their target of $1.85 million, the new field would underscore the restorative power of community in the face of adversity—and you can bet that every seat in the house will be filled every game night.
ADD A BRICK Donate $100 to the 9th Ward Field of Dreams to get your name on a brick in the new stadium.
