Date:2/5/2010

PURCHASE, N.Y., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The votes are in and more than 500,000 fans have spoken – Drew Brees is the winner of a $100,000 Pepsi Refresh grant that will help New Orleans-based Hope Lodge provide rooms for cancer patients and their caregivers. This past week, fans had the opportunity to cast their votes at www.nfl.com/PepsiRefresh or via text by typing the player's first name to P-E-P-S-I (73774) for the idea they believed should be awarded a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project.

New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware also campaigned for votes for their ideas to further projects important to them – Sanchez: building awareness around the signs of type 1 or juvenile diabetes and Ware: providing a safe environment for abused, abandoned and neglected children. Although their idea didn't receive the most votes, Pepsi is awarding each a $25,000 Refresh Project grant to help make a difference in America's communities.

"I'm thrilled that $100,000 will be going to the Hope Lodge, which will provide cancer patients and their caregiver's rooms through the Pepsi Refresh Project," said Brees.  "We're all winners in this project. These grants will help make a real difference in our communities. Thanks to the fans who voted, the support has been outstanding for all of us."
