2nd Annual Golf Charity Classic

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back January 30, 2015

We are at it again! Our inaugural Charity Golf Classic last year was extremely successful!

How successful? With the help of fellow businesses, sponsors and individuals, we were able to raise close to $70,000. 100% of the proceeds raised at our inaugural golf classic were then given back to local charitable groups and organizations in need throughout Arizona.

This year we want to surpass that amount and have set our goal to raise over $100,000. Yes, it’s a bit lofty – but we can reach it with your help!

Christmas Donations

The following message was shared with us expressing the gracious reaction of one of the families:

“Yesterday I had the pleasure of delivering all the Christmas presents you donated to the home of one of my students. The family had not a stitch of furniture yet they were so warm, appreciative, and welcoming. A teacher from Sunrise Acres gave them a tree. The kids were actually more excited to see the pillows than everything else! I want to sincerely thank you for making these holidays such a blessing for this deserving family. I just wish you could have witnessed all their smiles!”
