NEW ORLEANS – Techcrane, an avid New Orleans VooDoo supporter, has donated $1,000 to purchase 100 tickets for Ella Dolhonde Elementary students to attend the first annual Preauxs versus Jeauxs on Friday, announced the VooDoo front office on Wednesday afternoon.

“Techcrane is pleased to be a part of local communities with attention to the promotion of education.  My mother was a dedicated teacher of the Louisiana school system and believes in it.  Every step forward is progress to help young minds achieve new echelons in society,” said Darius Shad, Techcrane owner.

Preauxs versus Jeauxs is a charity flag football event that will feature two games.  The first game will feature VooDoo Dolls and Ella Dolhonde teachers versus VooDoo Dolls and Ella Dolhonde teachers with the second contest being the main event with New Orleans VooDoo players taking on the PlayNOLA All-Stars.

All proceeds will go to Ella Dolhonde to purchase books for its library and to Each One Save one, a non-profit organization, which mentors at-risk youth at the school.
