Our team once again had the pleasure of bringing Halloween cheer to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where we shared treats and warm smiles with young patients who are courageously journeying toward recovery.
Since these children can’t partake in the traditional trick-or-treating experience, we were especially moved to bring a bit of the Halloween spirit directly to them.
It was truly a joy for our team to see their faces light up and to have played a part in making their Halloween brighter.

For the second year in a row, Lerner & Rowe was proud to sponsor Protecting K9 Heroes, an extraordinary organization that provides K9 Narcan and first aid kits, as well as ballistic vests, to working K9s across the country through police and military agencies.
In addition, Protecting K9 Heroes often helps provide crucial funding for K9 medical bills when departments can no longer do so.
The annual Bash for the Blue and Camo 2 event brought hundreds of supporters and beneficiaries from near and far for an evening of fundraising and honoring fallen K9s.
