Earlier this year, Lincoln Financial announced its landmark partnership with the Cobbs Creek Foundation to further the advancement and development of infrastructure and programs at the Cobbs Creek Golf and Education Campus, currently under development in West Philadelphia. The partnership signifies a shared long-term commitment to the Philadelphia community, providing innovative programming, including financial literacy programs for all through Lincoln and the company's philanthropic arm, the Lincoln Financial Foundation, and access to state-of-the-art facilities at the Cobbs Creek Golf and Education Campus and the Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab. 'Lincoln Financial is proud to be a part of the renaissance of Philadelphia's historic Cobbs Creek Golf Course, furthering our commitment to strengthening our local communities while empowering individuals and families to pursue the financial futures they want and deserve,' said John Kennedy, Chief Distribution & Brand Officer.
