Dudley DeBosier and New Orleans Saints to Host Battle of the Branches

Service members from five military branches will compete in athletic challenges, followed by a Thanksgiving-style dinner for every team

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dudley DeBosier Injury Lawyers and the New Orleans Saints will host Battle of the Branches on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie. The event brings together active, reserve and veteran service members from the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard for a day of athletic competition, camaraderie, and community appreciation.

Check-in begins at 2 p.m. at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center located at 5800 Airline Drive in Metairie, with competition starting at 2:45 p.m. Teams will face off in tug-of-war, a team relay, a 40-yard dash, a long ball throw, field goal kicking, push-ups, and flag football games, building to a championship game and awards around 6:30 p.m. Dudley DeBosier is co-sponsoring the full event in partnership with the Saints. The firm is providing custom team shirts, on-site signage, and prizing for the winning branch, including an exclusive invitation to the firm's suite at the Saints vs. Arizona game on Dec. 27, 2026.

Saints legends are also expected to be in attendance to cheer on the competing teams.

Following the competition, Dudley DeBosier will host a Thanksgiving-style dinner for all participating teams. Many service members are unable to be home with loved ones during the holiday season, and the meal is meant to offer a moment of comfort, connection, and appreciation. The dinner brings all of the teams together at one table once the day's competition ends, regardless of which branch takes home the win.

For Dudley DeBosier, Battle of the Branches is not a passive sponsorship. The firm is engaged throughout the entire experience, from early planning through event-day execution, to build connections, celebrate camaraderie, and give back to service members in a tangible, memorable way.

"Battle of the Branches is about more than competition," said Chad Dudley, managing partner at Dudley DeBosier Injury Lawyers. "It's about building connections, celebrating camaraderie, and making sure our service members feel seen and appreciated."

As the Official Injury Lawyers of the New Orleans Saints, Dudley DeBosier uses that platform to honor and support the military community through engaging, high-energy experiences. The firm's goal is for participants to leave with more than memories, knowing they are valued by a local business that cares about the people who serve.
