Become a Legacy Sponsor

The Lynn Institute offers multiple sponsorships for our Sip, Savor, & Support Lynn Legacy Event so you can select the sponsorship level that is right for you. By becoming a Legacy Sponsor, you will enable the Lynn Institute to continue with:

  • Community engagement initiatives for under-served neighborhoods and communities including health and vision screenings, youth mentorship, support groups, home resources and improvement, educational support, workforce development, life skills classes, neighborhood fitness programs, and distribution of additional resources needed for quality of life and health.

  • On the Road to Health programs for vulnerable communities that provide health and food access, nutrition education, health screenings, wellness training, and fitness and movement opportunities close to home.

  • Fresh food distributions in Oklahoma County for impoverished communities where access to fresh produce and meat is limited. In 2024, Lynn conducted more than 110 food distributions, impacting more than 10,000 individuals and families.

  • Increased production of organic fruits and vegetables at our Lynn Institute Community Garden at Expand. In 2024, the Lynn garden produced nearly 4,000 pounds of nutrient-dense food and distributed nearly 1,200 bags of produce to local families in need. The garden staff has an ambitious goal to more than triple production in 2025!

  • Development of green spaces, gardens and small parks to provide access to food, community engagement, health resources, fitness opportunities, and neighborhood improvement. Lynn has rejuvenated the Lynn Institute Community Garden at Expand, formerly known as the Chesapeake Energy Garden, to become a food resource and place of beauty, as well as helped create the Tabitha Community Park.
