Grants provided by the Minnesota Lynx Foundation are a phenomenal opportunity for our organization to give back to the community, said Timberwolves and Lynx President Chris Wright. The Twin Cities community has always done an exceptional job supporting our organization, and these grants are a great way to assist local organizations in fulfilling their missions.
