Our Lerner and Rowe Gives Back team in Las Vegas spent one of the last outdoor street hockey activities at Liberty Baptist (on Lake Mead & Torrey Pines) before the heat of summer forces them to move indoors. Members from Metro’s Heroes United Hockey, led by Lieutenant Philip Merges (in the green jersey), coach our inner-city children to play hockey.
Heroes United has been concentrating on serving in two neighborhoods (Twain & Swenson, and Lake Mead & Torrey Pines). It is their goal to expand into other underserved neighborhoods to improve the quality of life for all who live there.
