2015 Back to School Tools

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back

Back to School Tools 2015

This is the fifth year Lerner and Rowe Gives Back has joined other local businesses in proudly sponsoring Mix 96.9 Back to School Tools, a school supply drive for underpriviledged children throughout Phoenix who are in need of basic items like backpacks, pens, markers and hygiene items.This year’s Back to School Tools directly benefits Worldly Kids, a new charitable foundation dedicated to helping the top ten title one schools in Tempe and Phoenix.

It is Worldly Kid’s mission to help homeless children focus on their education in an effort to break the cycle of living on the streets and make the most of their future. The homeless youth that Worldly Kid’s sponsor live in shelters, motels, cars, and empty buildings, leaving them unable to get the supplies they need.

We ask that you to join Lerner and Rowe Gives Back and help make a difference in the lives of these children by donating much needed school supplies, clothing, hygiene items and healthy snacks to this worthy cause.

Back to School Tools Wish List

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back
Each year, Lerner and Rowe Gives Back partners with the Phoenix Rescue Mission to collect cases of bottled water for the mission’s “Code Red: Heat Relief Campaign.” This year the Mission has set a goal to collect 600,000 bottles to provide Arizona’s homeless with life-saving water to greatly

Dangerously High Temps Harm Homeless

Dangerously high temperatures in the Phoenix area leave homeless, men, women and children blistered by the summer sun and helpless to get the protection and life sustaining hydration and nutrients they need to survive. To give the Mission a boost in reaching their 2015 goal, Lerner and Rowe Gives Back has agreed to match all water donations made through August 31, 2015!

You can help make a difference in the lives of homeless individuals, families and the elderly by dropping off cases of bottled water at one of the following Lerner and Rowe law office locations, Monday – Friday, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm:

  • 535 East McKillips Rd., Building 2, Suite 105, Mesa, AZ 85301
  • 5525 West Glendale Ave. , Suite 201, Glendale, AZ 85301
  • 7200 West Bell Rd., Suite D-2, Glendale, AZ 85308
  • 2701 E. Camelback Rd., Suite 140, Phoenix, AZ 85016

Staggering Statistics

Each year, an average of 118 people die in Arizona from excessive heat exposure. Last year there were 26 deaths reported in Phoenix. With the combined efforts of Code Red, Lerner and Rowe Gives back and you, we can help rescue our homeless neighbors and underserved community members from the heat and provide them with fresh water, nutritious food, and other vital items through the Phoenix Rescue Mission.

Faith Lutheran Safe Grad Nite Sponsors

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back

 

safe Grad NiteFaith Lutheran Safe Grad Nite Sponsors

Our Las Vegas personal injury law offices are community sponsors of Faith Lutheran’s safe Grad Nite celebration. Faith Lutheran hosts the event each year to give the class a final chance to have fun together in a safe, alcohol and drug-free environment.

Safe Grad Nite was initially started by a committee of concerned parent who wanted to help prevent personal injury and deaths on a statistically dangerous night for high school graduates.

Leading Causes of Grad Night Injuries

The leading causes of teenage injuries and deaths on graduation night are related to underage drinking and driving, drowsy driving, distracted driving and not buckling seat belts in case of an accident.

At Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys we wish to congratulate each high school graduate on their accomplishment and wish them the best in their future endeavors. We also want to strongly encourage them to be safe and responsible as they celebrate with their family and friends.
