Our 2nd Annual Lerner and Rowe Gives Back Charity Golf Classic was a huge success! We are extremely grateful for the generosity and support shown by the individuals and corporate sponsors who helped make this community fundraiser happen.

Our team was especially pleased to share a portion of the proceeds raised that day with Phoenix Rescue Mission to assist them with their annual Code Red summer heat relief campaign.

Phoenix Rescue Mission sent the following thank you note in appreciation of the donation that Kevin Rowe and Glen Lerner surprised the Mission with on Friday, May 1st.

Dear Cindy, Kevin and the entire staff of Lerner and Rowe that helped in the golf tournament, I am still overwhelmed by the warm and compassionate treatment that Sue and I experienced at the Golf Tournament. Your generosity and faithful support of Phoenix Rescue Mission is appreciated so much. Lerner and Rowe Gives Back continues to be a major partner in PRM’s mission to save lives through Code Red. The $7,500 you donated will provide relief to tens of thousands of men, women, and children suffering on the streets of Phoenix during our blistering heat. We’ll be able to purchase nearly 45 PALLETS of water with your donation.

I cannot thank you enough for all the hard work involved in putting on such a smooth running golf tournament. I think Sue and I were able to let so many people know about what we do at Phoenix Rescue Mission and if 1/3 of the people that said they would help provide water to PRM donate, I would be thrilled.

May God bless you for your caring heart for The Least, The Last, and The Lost.

Kevin,

A belated thank you to you and Ashyln for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us at our Quarterly Celebration Dinner last week. You have been such a blessing to Phoenix Rescue Mission. Lerner & Rowe Gives Back was PRM’s largest single financial contributor to the Code Red Summer Relief Program. Your generosity allowed Phoenix Rescue Mission to give comfort to so many on the street during our brutal summer temperatures. You definitely helped us SAVE LIVES.

You did a wonderful job on stage. I hope your speech will inspire others to get involved. Sharing the motivation for why you have become involved in helping the homeless and the hungry was honest and from your heart.

May God continue to bless you and your family as abundantly as He has blessed Phoenix Rescue Mission.

To The Lerner and Rowe Gives Back Foundation:

I would like to thank the Lerner and Rowe Gives Back Foundation volunteers of conscientious people who work tirelessly at giving back to the community. I am the head of The McKenna Youth Foundation and have seen the efforts of Kevin Rowe and his foundation volunteers working along side of many charities in The City of Phoenix. They were very helpful with keeping our charity going through some rough times in our economy. I have seen Kevin and his volunteers working for hours at our food and bike Christmas party the last few years and also raising money for the event. We can always count on Kevin Rowe and Linda Chelani to make our event a success. We are lucky to be involved with Kevin Rowe and his foundation.

Thank You,

Michael F. Damiani
The McKenna Youth Foundation

To The Lerner and Rowe Gives Back Team,

Kevin Rowe and Lerner & Rowe Gives Back have been great advocates to the Arizona Humane Society. Not only have they sponsored our highly anticipated Puttin’ for Pooches event, but they have donated much needed items for our four-legged friends. We are grateful for their corporate stewardship, but more notably, their support to the over 46,000 animals we serve each year.

Thank you, Lerner & Rowe!

To Lerner and Rowe Gives Back,

It goes without saying: There is no “Summer Vacation” for the homeless in Phoenix. With triple digit temperatures during the day, there is little escape from the brutal conditions.

One of The Phoenix Rescue Mission’s primary goals during June, July and August is to make sure that those men, women and children on the streets have enough water to survive.

Whenever we are running critically short of water and heat relief items like hats, sunscreen and lip balm, we put a call out to the community to help supply us with these items. Kevin Rowe is always the first to step up to help. He doesn’t hesitate, he doesn’t over-think it, he just jumps in enthusiastically to help those in need.

Last year, Kevin and his team collected the equivalent of 3400 cases of water for the Phoenix Rescue Mission. This effort most definitely SAVED LIVES.

Phoenix Rescue Mission would like to express our most sincere appreciation to Kevin Rowe, Linda Chelani, Lerner and Rowe Gives Back, their dedicated staff as well as their generous partners and clients who are collaborating to dramatically reduce the number of heat related deaths in Phoenix. Phoenix Rescue Mission has been serving the homeless in the Valley for 60 years. This milestone anniversary would not be possible without critical partnerships like the one we have with Kevin Rowe.

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back does exactly that… it gives back. Thank you for making this a “Summer of Hope” for our homeless neighbors.

Sincerely,

Mark Tullis
Major Gifts Officer
Phoenix Rescue Mission

Kevin Rowe of the Lerner & Rowe Gives Back Foundation has been a friend to UMOM New Day Centers for over a year. At UMOM we shelter over 130 homeless families each night.

This year Kevin and Lerner & Rowe Gives Back participated in our Winter Wonderland event. Through the foundation, Kevin purchased and distributed new winter jackets and other new winter clothing to over 300 homeless individuals living at UMOM.

With his support each person living at UMOM received a new winter jacket or other new warm clothing item. In addition, Kevin and the Lerner & Rowe Gives Back Foundation sponsored a bounce house at the Winter Wonderland event for the youth to enjoy.

We could not do our work in the community without the support of Kevin Rowe and Lerner & Rowe Gives Back and are so thankful for the friendship we share.UMOM New Day Centers
