Ross Lynn’s birthday is November Sixth (11/06). When looking at our year-end giving language, we felt it was a good date to mark the beginning of the season and a name we could use to continue the Foundation’s work of carrying Ross’s memory.

Just as the year is beginning to come to a close, something bright and beautiful emerges that has the opportunity to touch others’ lives. We now refer to all of our individual donors as 1106 Patrons and yet the origins of the name still holds true and the year-end giving still carries that extra warmth as the winter falls upon us.

An 1106 Patron is anyone who supports the Ross Lynn Charitable Foundation through a financial gift, regardless of the amount. The '1106 Patron' designation reflects our belief that every contribution matters in driving meaningful change. By joining the 1106 Patrons, donors of all levels play a vital role in helping us bring arts, outdoor adventures, and health & wellness programs to communities across North Louisiana and beyond.
