Vincent Country, a family lifestyle brand founded by Troy and Tommi Vincent, executed its annual philanthropic event, which is known as the Safe Zone Activity Day. This activation was presented by Cigna Healthcare at Burckhalter Elementary School in Oakland.
The 2026 Safe Zone Activity Day revolved around the theme of 'Dreams Grow Here.' The initiative involved a coalition of corporate and nonprofit partners to deliver a day of sports activities and wellness services to youth. These were supplemented by the unveiling of permanent campus improvements, which included a new turf field, an adaptive agility mat, a food pantry, and a community mural. Additionally, the 2026 Safe Zone Activity Day program provided direct services such as health screenings, vision exams, mental wellness activities, STEM workshops, and meals to over 200 students and faculty.
