The local organizations to benefit from Love Sessions include: New Orleans Public Library Foundation, Dress For Success New Orleans, LSU-HSC Department of Psychiatry, Dag’s House, Son of a Saint Sports Foundation, Unity of Greater New Orleans, St. Mary’s Academy, North American Mission Board, Jericho Road Episcopal Housing, Children’s Hospital, New Orleans Haitian Relief Task Force, and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra
