Personal Life
Lennox started the Lennox Foundation 22 in 2005 to support children that were victims of neglect and abuse. The organization’s mission is to give these children better experiences and the chance to succeed with support, education, and love. They learn self-motivation through playing basketball. She was presented with the WNBA’s Community Assist Award in June 2006 for her charitable work.
She comes from a deeply religious background, and has a bible verse inscribed on the toes of her shoes (Philippians 4:13) which she says is the scripture that tells all that she has become today.
