Sandra Bullock attends special New Orleans premiere of The Blind Side

Sandra Bullock appeared at a special charity premiere in New Orleans for her latest movie The Blind Side.

The football-themed film premiered at an event that also raised money for a high school that was flooded during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Bullock said: “We’re investing in a lot of things that we think need preserving. It’s about people giving because they know it’s the right thing to do.”

Donations from the event were used for such items as band uniforms, scholarships and a health centre.

The Blind Side, based on a book by Michael Lewis, tells the story of Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher.
