Proud to Support Project Hero Since 2018

As a fifth-year supporter of Project Hero, Lerner & Rowe Gives Back is proud to support the 2022 Las Vegas Honor Ride being held on Saturday, November 12, 2022 with a start/finish at the Clark County Government Center. As the event’s Lunch Sponsor, we’ll help provide food, fruit, and drinks for the bicyclists participating in this annual event. 

Who Benefits from the Las Vegas Honor Ride?

Project Hero saves lives by restoring hope and purpose to veterans and first responders who suffer from a variety of physical and mental wounds. Participants, sponsors, and other fundraising efforts will be used to help fund life-changing rehabilitation services for these healing heroes.

As a presenting sponsor of Humane Indiana Wildlife (HIW) Center’s 2022 Festival of Owls, our Indiana team had a blast volunteering this past Friday at its wildlife center. The afternoon kicked off with a lunch and learn where our team learned all about what the organization does to rehabilitate native Indiana wildlife.

Then, the rest of the afternoon was spent preparing animal enclosures for the winter season by laying tarp and cleaning leaves and weeds. Our team even had the unique opportunity to meet and see a few of HIW’s animal ambassadors like a snowy owl and skunk!

How Does Humane Indiana Wildlife Center Give Back?

The Humane Indiana Wildlife Center takes in sick, orphaned, and injured native Indiana wildlife to be rehabilitated and released back into nature.

On Saturday, October 22, our Lerner and Rowe Gives Back team joined volunteers from the Fiesta Bowl Charities, BHHS Legacy Foundation, and KABOOM! to transform empty lots into a brand-new, state-of-the-art playground and sport court for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Colorado River’s Fort Mojave Clubhouse. 

These new facilities make exciting additions to the new clubhouse that was also recently built, as well as the 70,000+ square foot grass field that was transported to the site last spring after serving as the 2021 Guaranteed Rate Bowl field in downtown Phoenix. 

As a sponsor of the Fiesta Bowl Charities, we are thrilled to see how much can be achieved in one day when a community gets together to give back and do more for more than 800 local youth. We genuinely love being part of KABOOM! Playground builds and to see our sponsorship dollars in action!
