We were proud to once again sponsor the annual Croquet for a Cure fundraiser, a unique community event that combined fun, philanthropy, and purpose to support critical memory care needs. The event raised vital funds for the Myles & Hermanda O’Connor Fund at the HonorHealth Foundation, helping advance expert care and groundbreaking research for Alzheimer’s and dementia. With lawn croquet, lively camaraderie, and incredible community participation, Croquet for a Cure 2026 was about much more than competition. It honored families affected by memory-related diseases and funded programs that make a real difference in their lives.
We’re grateful to stand alongside passionate sponsors, organizers, and attendees who share a commitment to bringing hope and support to patients and their families. Events like this showcase the power of community—raising funds, awareness, and compassion for those navigating Alzheimer’s and related illnesses.

At Lerner & Rowe, giving back to the communities we serve is at the heart of everything we do. That commitment was proudly on display throughout the 2025 #LovePup Family Fests in both Phoenix and Tucson.
As the official Stage Sponsor of the Phoenix festival, our team helped support an unforgettable evening of live music, family fun, and most importantly, dog adoptions. We were thrilled to learn that over 30 pups found loving homes through these #LovePup Family Fest events.
Our continued partnership with #LovePup reflects our firm’s belief in building stronger, more compassionate communities.
