Wall of Wynners

Celebrating everyday heroes who use their experiences of
overcoming trauma to ignite generational cycles of hope
2021 Ignite International Wynner of the Year
A lifetime of unrelenting trauma culminated in a highly publicized wrongful 467-day incarceration. But the truth would not be denied. And upon her release, Katie Phipps determined to use her experiences to help others break the cycles of generational trauma. Thank you, Katie, for letting your story be told!

The Lori Wynn Legacy
Lori Wynn was a 26-year collegiate basketball coach who not only led the first Ignite team to Jamaica but also served on the Ignite International Board of Directors. Lori transitioned from earth to eternity on April 17, 2020 after a nearly four-year battle with cancer.

To spend time with Lori was truly to be in the presence of a Wynner. Cancer did not defeat her. Rather, she lived its journey with purpose, and in perfect peace. The honorees named on this wall challenge us, as Lori did, to take life's hardships and use them to ignite hope for others!

Beginning in January 2022, the Wall of Wynners will honor our Honorable Mention and Semi-Finalists on the road to the Final Four of Ignite International's highest annual award, the Wynner of the Year.
"Pray. Left foot. Right foot. Breathe. Repeat."
