Celebrating Community Impact: How Son of a Saint Empowers New Orleans Youth

Ochsner Health announced in 2020 it had pledged $1 million to Son of a Saint, the nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring mentorship and transforming the lives of New Orleans’ fatherless boys. The commitment includes naming rights to the organization’s new permanent home in Mid-City, the Ochsner Health Son of a Saint Bivian Lee, Jr. Center. The facility is named after the father of Son of a Saint Founder and CEO Bivian “Sonny” Lee III, who also served as the namesake inspiration for the organization. Ochsner’s donation is the largest Son of a Saint has received since its inception in 2011.
