Lerner and Rowe Gives Back is pleased to once again support the Team Taylor Family Fun Run.

For 2023, our team not only signed on as a $20k level Fun Run sponsor, we also plan to slip on our sneakers to join other supporters in the 3-mile run, as well as handing out free giveaway items to event participants. 

Sponsorships like ours, donations, and other fundraising items from this annual event will benefit Phoenix Children’s Sleep & Home Safety Program. 

We’d love to see you there! So, gear up, grab your team, and join us on Sunday, April 2, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. as all members of Team Taylor run, walk, bike, or scoot through the beautiful streets of Arcadia in Phoenix for a great cause! 

How Did the Team Taylor Family Fun Run Get Started?

Katie and Mark Cosmas started the Team Taylor Family Fun Run after losing their daughter, Taylor Paige, to SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in April 2010 at five-months old. 

Since its inception, Team Taylor has raised more than $1 million dollars to go towards SIDS research and awareness to help other families from having to suffer the loss of a child by this deadly syndrome.

No Running Shoes? No Problem.

If you can’t meet us at the start line for whatever reason, that’s okay. That doesn’t mean you can’t be a part of Team Taylor! Visit GiveToPCH.org/TeamTaylor to offer a donation that will help support Phoenix Children’s Safe Sleep & Home Safety Program. Phoenix Children’s never turns away a child in need. Your donation helps provide critical, life changing pediatric care to even the most underserved in Arizona.

Lerner & Rowe Gives Back, the nonprofit arm of Lerner & Rowe Injury Attorneys, one of Arizona’s largest personal injury law firms, is set to sponsor nine local events through the end of April, totaling more than $70,000 in sponsorship donations. The law firm was the Phoenix Business Journal’s 2022 Philanthropic Company of the Year and donated nearly $1 million to local charities in 2022.

The Lerner & Rowe Gives Back team believes in supporting local organizations as a way to strengthen the community and improve the lives of those who live in the Valley. Upcoming donations and sponsorships include:

• $5,000 to Tour de Cure (American Diabetes Association)
• $2,500 to All Abilities Marketplace (Something So Worth It)
• $10,000 to Night of Dreams Gala (Dream City Church)
• $3,000 to Hike for Hope (Billy’s Place)
• $20,000 to Team Taylor Family 5K (Phoenix Children’s Hospital)
• $20,000 to Daydream Believers Fashion Show (PANDA)
• $7,500 to Kidney Walk (National Kidney Foundation)
• $2,500 to VIVA (Valley Kids Foundation)
• $2,500 to One Walk AZ (JDRF)

“Donating to these Valley charities is something that is near and dear to us, as the sponsorships directly support the people who have supported us for years,” said Kevin Rowe, founder of Lerner & Rowe Gives Back. “We love being able to connect with members of the community and be a part of something bigger in the community every year. That’s why we do what we do.”

Lerner & Rowe Gives Back recently launched its grant program, allowing qualified Arizona 501(c)3s to apply to receive $5,000 to $50,000. Grant recipients are set to be announced in April. The addition of the new grant process allows the Lerner & Rowe Gives Back team to serve their community more directly.

Sponsors the 5th Annual PRFC Soccer Ball benefitting Phoenix Rising Youth Soccer Players

At the heart of our foundation we seek to find ways to uplift local youth. Inclusion in team sports is just one of many activities that many may not be able to join without financial assistance.

As such, we are thrilled to support the Soccer Ball that reinvests 100% of proceeds into a financial aid program that provides scholarship opportunities for hundreds of youth to play soccer and be part of a team.

Members of our own team that attended the event also enjoyed seeing some of the players and meeting the director of Phoenix Rising Youth Soccer, Chris Brown.
