On December 16 the John Lynch Foundation hosted the 2009 Lynch's Christmas Party with the Boys & Girls Clubs at Prima Ristorante, in downtown Denver. Ten very deserving underprivileged youth were invited to attend this special evening which included a surprise visit from Santa (bearing gifts!), a delicious three course meal, and a trip to see the Christmas classic, The Nutcracker.

 

Through this event the John Lynch Foundation was able to make Christmas wishes come true for a group of children. The Foundation worked closely with Boys & Girls Club directors to identify children who would not otherwise have received a traditional Christmas and then secretly gathered wish lists from each of the children.

 

As the children arrived they worked on letters to soldiers to show their appreciation for all they do to protect our company.  The children ordered from a custom designed menu and enjoyed their 'fancy' dinners. As they were finishing their desserts, Santa arrived and had a special delivery for each child.

 

One by one the children were called up to sit on Santa's lap, pose for a picture with Santa and John, and get their gift bag.  As the presents were opened the room was filled with squeals of delight, surprise and excitement.  The children received the specific items they had wished for including tennis shoes, games, clothes, athletic equipment, dolls, books, etc..

 

This was the 13th Annual Lynch Christmas Party and to date the Foundation has made spirits bright for more than 300 youngsters.

Salute the Stars


Every May Super Bowl Champion and Pro Bowler John Lynch and his wife Linda, host an awards luncheon that honors some bright young stars. Members of the Broncos organization as well as more than 900 community leaders, teachers, coaches and parents join the Lynches in their efforts to salute these exceptional student-athletes.

The 2010 Salute the Stars awards luncheon was held on Thursday, May 13th from 11:30am - 1:30pm on the field at INVESCO Field.  John Lynch, and his wife Linda recognized and rewarded some outstanding student-athletes from the Denver area.

There was a silent auction, an exciting keynote speech, given by Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniels, and all guests had an opportunity to pass, punt and kick on the field after the event. Most importantly, those in attendance were profoundly impacted by the many examples of what is 'right' with our youth. The many stories of leadership, dedication, and determination in these youngsters, including some with disabilities who face extreme challenges every day, were inspiring.

The following awards were presented at the luncheon:

  • Star of the Year
  • Teacher / Coach of the Year
  • Exceptional Star of the Year
  • Lynch Family Legacy Scholarships
