Our team once again had the pleasure of bringing Halloween cheer to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where we shared treats and warm smiles with young patients who are courageously journeying toward recovery.
Since these children can’t partake in the traditional trick-or-treating experience, we were especially moved to bring a bit of the Halloween spirit directly to them.
It was truly a joy for our team to see their faces light up and to have played a part in making their Halloween brighter.

2024 Bash for the Blue and Camo 2
For the second year in a row, Lerner & Rowe was proud to sponsor Protecting K9 Heroes, an extraordinary organization that provides K9 Narcan and first aid kits, as well as ballistic vests, to working K9s across the country through police and military agencies.
In addition, Protecting K9 Heroes often helps provide crucial funding for K9 medical bills when departments can no longer do so.
The annual Bash for the Blue and Camo 2 event brought hundreds of supporters and beneficiaries from near and far for an evening of fundraising and honoring fallen K9s.

On October 17th, Lerner & Rowe Gives Back had the privilege of honoring 21 outstanding organizations at our first Arizona Grant Cycle Charities Reception. Held in a warm, celebratory atmosphere, the event highlighted the powerful work of these nonprofits and the positive impact they make across Arizona.
This year’s grant recipients address a diverse range of critical community needs, aligning with our dedication to giving back and fostering positive change within four areas to include youth programs, health and human services, animal welfare, and public safety. From providing essential resources to vulnerable families, offering educational programs that empower underserved youth, to advancing healthcare services and promoting the safety and wellbeing of both people and animals, each initiative is truly making a difference in our communities.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us in this celebration, from the recipients to our own Lerner & Rowe Gives Back team members and supporters. The evening was a beautiful reminder of what can be achieved when people come together with compassion and purpose.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to uplifting Arizona’s communities and supporting these organizations in their impactful work. Together, we are stronger and capable of making a lasting difference.
