After Bill Lynch passed away in 2023, donations were requested to the University of St. Thomas and Johnson Senior High in lieu of other gestures. The St. Thomas donations went to support the Class of 1965 Endowment. Other gifts went to the William P Lynch Memorial Scholarship at Johnson High School.

For the graduating classes since his passing, we've provided $1,000 scholarships to students who exemplified the perseverance, kindness, positivity and hard work for which Bill was known. Now the organization is focused on the future and creating something everlasting.

As the fund grows, we hope to increase the amount given, the number of students awarded, and extending scholarships to graduates from his church, Gustavus Adolphus, or from other Saint Paul Public Schools.
