Our Mission
Our passion lies in the enrichment, education, and health of our youth. The Lenny Wilkens Foundation funds organizations that help young people reach their full potential while honoring their dignity and self-respect, regardless of circumstances.
We Believe
Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, and it is our responsibility to ensure that every child has an equal opportunity to succeed.
All children have the right to receive basic healthcare with dignity, regardless of their families’ ability to pay.
Every child deserves access to educational resources that equip them to thrive in an increasingly competitive world.
Since 1971, the primary beneficiary of the Lenny Wilkens Foundation's funds has been the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic, a community clinic affiliated with Children’s Hospital of Seattle. The clinic provides essential services, including medical care, health and lifestyle education, dental care, and mental health support.
The Lenny Wilkens Foundation raises funds for various local organizations dedicated to helping children in need.
