A Legacy of Giving: 13 Years of Charity Golf Raises Over $6.9 Million
Our 13th Annual Lerner & Rowe Gives Back Charity Golf Classic wasn’t just another event—it was a record-shattering celebration of community. From the first tee-off to the final note played by 80s legends The Reflexx, the day was defined by high energy and an even higher purpose.
For the fourth consecutive year, we are humbled to announce that we have surpassed the million-dollar mark, raising an incredible $1,120,842.25. As always, 100% of these funds stay right here in Arizona, fueling our 2026 grant awards and supporting the nonprofits that keep our communities strong.
The Power of Momentum
Since 2014, our mission has been to turn a love for the game into a lifeline for those in need. What started as a $67,000 initiative has evolved into a million-dollar movement.
Our Charity Golf Classic Fundraising Journey:
- 2026: $1,120,842 (The New Record!)
- 2025: $1,031,000+
- 2024: $1,015,000+
- 2023: $1.12M
- 2022 – 2014: A steady climb from $569K down to our $67K roots.
- Total Impact: Over $6.9 Million raised in 13 years.
More Than Just a Round of Golf
We believe in “giving back” to those who give so generously. This year’s participants enjoyed a “Hole-in-One” experience that went far beyond the green:
- The Atmosphere: Libations, elevated culinary bites, and a fun 19th hole afterparty with a live 80s tribute band.
- The Gear: A $250 onsite concept shop credit and “insane” swag bags featuring Beats noise-canceling headphones, Oakley sunglasses, and electric inflators.
- The Thrills: High-stakes drone drop, skills contests, and drawing.
