"The Promise" is a song written and recorded in 2006 by pre-teen singer/songwriter Brianna Rieffel dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. A native of Mandeville, Louisiana, Brianna's family was among the millions of gulf coast residents displaced by the hurricane. The song expressed the sadness and frustration of all the the people who suffered as seen through the eyes of a child.

Proceeds of the sales of the CD single went out to help rebuild schools in Louisiana affected by the hurricane. It has received critical acclaim worldwide.
