The Original Geaux Black & Gold Celebrity Charity Fan Cruise was established in 2021 by Darryn and Cherine DeWalt. This unique event brings together beloved players from The Black and Gold to sail the open seas alongside some of their biggest fans out of the Port of New Orleans. As the ultimate fan experience, it offers an extraordinary opportunity to connect personally with the players who inspire us on and off the field.

​

Get Checked or Check Out was created to reach men, women, and families where they live, work, play, and pray. The cruise integrates community outreach programs with health prevention messages, tools, and resources. Our mission is to address health disparities across America by offering screening programs, educational materials, advocacy opportunities, and patient navigation services to promote better health outcomes.

This fun-filled, family-friendly event combines the passion for football with impactful community health initiatives. The Original Geaux Black & Gold Celebrity Charity Fan Cruise, together with the participating players, creates a meaningful difference both on and off the field. It is an honor and privilege to have these incredible athletes join us, showcasing just how much they contribute to their communities beyond the game.
