In case you aren’t familiar with our great work, Lincoln provides critical supports to disrupt cycles of poverty and trauma. Teams of skilled and diverse Lincoln staff work together with youth and families where they are: at home, in school, or in the community. Utilizing their strengths, they work together to build a plan to thrive and succeed. Our multi-generational model sets a new standard of support that changes lives and strengthens communities.
Whether you have joined us in the past, or this will be your first time in attendance, we hope to count you among our friends and champions, coming together to invest in our home communities. Have a connection to your company’s Sponsorship Team? We’d appreciate an introduction! A range of sponsorship opportunities, detailed in the enclosed, are available.
