Aside from a generous $5,000 sponsorship, our team once again “pinked out” as enthusiastic participants of the annual Check for a Lump Pink Out 5K. 2023 marked the seventh year for this breast cancer awareness and fundraising event in Phoenix.
One of the many positive aspects that we love about the Pink Out 5k is that 100% of funds raised stay LOCAL. Check for a Lump uses these monies to help provide free services like mammograms, testing, wigs, education, and support within our Arizona community.

Committed to Combating Hunger in Maricopa County
Lerner and Rowe Gives Back has once again teamed up with ALT AZ 93.3 and the Valley of the Sun United Way in 2023 to help combat hunger in Maricopa County. Our team was pleased to donate $5,500 to help offset associated costs for purchasing shelf-stable pantry items.
As before, the goal of the October 2023 United Way Pantry Pack Program is to provide 1,500 meals to help ensure that local students and their families have enough food staples to get them through the month. United Way supplied the packs and our team joined ALT AZ 93-3 and Whataburger to assemble packs before they got delivered to a local school.
Participating schools include Roosevelt, Cartwright, and Murphy Elementary School Districts, as well as Academia Del Pueblo and Frank Elementary School located in South and Southwest Phoenix, Maryvale, and Guadalupe. Furthermore, these schools have free and reduced lunch eligibility rates of 81% to 99%. Each school also determines distribution of pantry pants to families that have the highest need.
What’s Inside Each United Way Pantry Pack?
Pantry Packs are filled with nutritional items that may include:
Oatmeal
Fruit cups
Granola bars
Macaroni and cheese
Canned chicken
Peanut butter crackers

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back presented a $30,000 check to Ryan House, a 2023 grant recipient of our foundation. Grant funds will be used by Ryan House to support one child for one year in its Sponsor-A-Stay program, as well as to provide gas and grocery cards for families as they are experiencing this difficult journey.
One of the goals of Ryan House is to directly improve the quality of life for children who are medically fragile, as well as to provide supportive programs that serve their families through year-round activities and respite.
More About the Sponsor-A-Stay Program
Need for services provided by Ryan House has steadily increased each year and the organization provides all services free of charge. Annually, children participate in more than 1,000 life-enhancing therapeutic activities during their stays at Ryan House.
The Sponsor-A-Stay program is funded solely on community contributions and addresses the unfunded gap in services.
Learn more about how you can get involved and join us in supporting Ryan House at ryanhouse.org.

Making sure that every kid has the opportunity and tools to play
Lerner & Rowe Gives Back had the honor of presenting a $5,000 grant check to 180 Sports AZ at Cortez High School to support their local athletics initiative, which is focused on enhancing youth sports organizations located within disadvantaged communities across Arizona.
More specifically, the project directly impacts five different teams and three school districts within underserved communities that have youth sports organizations, but lack the resources to provide lights, turf, uniforms, and proper equipment.
180 Sports AZ collaborates with the Positive Coaching Alliance and City Serve to identify individuals in need, ensuring that any raised funds are maximized for the most significant positive effect.

Earlier this week our Lerner & Rowe Gives Back grant patrol team presented a $15,000 check to Child Crisis Arizona. As one of our 2023 grant recipients, this charity will apply gifted funds towards its Group Homes for Foster Teens.
The Group Homes are geared towards serving long-term residents (from birth through 21-years) and focuses heavily on life skills, education, and planning for post-secondary education to prepare the youth for exiting the child welfare system as adults.
In addition, program participants will receive essential wraparound services aimed at fostering healing, ensuring a sense of security and stability, and ultimately breaking the cycle of generational abuse, all in alignment with their vision of “Safe Kids. Strong Families.”

Making sure no man, woman, or child is hungry
Sadly, one in three households in Arizona experience food uncertainty. Thankfully, Mom’s Pantry shines like a beacon of hope during the current food drought that grossly impacts disadvantaged populations throughout the Phoenix Valley. As a 2023 Lerner & Rowe Gives Back grant recipient, Mom’s Pantry plans to use its $5,000 gift to stock the pantry with pallets of food, fresh fruits, and vegetables to last for the next quarter.
However, the need for proper nourishment is never ending and Mom’s Pantry continues to seek out resources to feed individuals, families, seniors, the disabled, the homeless, and more in need. Through empathy, deliberateness, and generous donations from individuals, grants, and corporations, Mom’s Pantry remains open so that every guest that seeks out help has enough food to last a week.
Learn how you can join us in supporting this amazing organization, or how to get help, by calling (602) 992-0083, or by visiting momspantryphoenix.org.
