Due to Covid-19, the 6^th annual “Swingin’ for the Vets” Golf Event has been cancelled.  This was intended to be a charitable event for the A.J. Lynch Medal of Honor Veterans Foundation. The Foundation has undergone a reorganization and is again an independent 501(c)(3) organization. It also has redefined its mission. Specifically, the organization's Mission Statement reads: The Allen J Lynch Medal of Honor Veterans Foundation provides assistance to veterans and service members through its financial support of Veterans service organizations. All funds contributed to the Lynch Foundation are provided through grants to programs that directly support Military Veterans in need.

In 2020, the Foundation has already provided substantial support to:

• Utility Worker Military Assistance Program (UMAP) –  UMAP provides returning veterans, reserve and guard candidates with the training and support needed to successfully transition into job opportunities in the utility industry.
• All Woman's Honor Flight – the first of its kind under the auspices of the national Honor Flight For the first time they are adding an all-female flight to honor the women who served our country.
• The Veteran Women's Wellness Day – the Foundation contributed to the Veterans Forward Program. This is a program within National Able and has been a partner to the Lynch Foundation for the last several years. Our contribution helped obtain goods and services needed by the women on that particular day of the event.  
• The Foundation is currently working with Lake County Responds for Veterans – This Organization assists Veterans in need by raising donations of money, building materials, and professional labor of which we coordinate the repairs, building, and donating of homes to Veterans.
