Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys announce their proud sponsorship of the 11th Annual Bowl-A-Rama for Animal Rescue. This annual fundraising event was created to help raise funds for local animal rescues to stop thousands of healthy, adoptable pets from being euthanized each year.

The Bowl-A-Rama for Animal Rescue takes place on Saturday, August 3, at 10:00 a.m. at AMF Scottsdale Lanes (7300 E. Thomas Road, just east of Scottsdale Road). All monies received will go directly to assist local animal rescue organizations.

“Over the past 10 years animal welfare advocate Top Dog Eileen Proctor has been able to raise an impressive $2,000,000 to assist homeless, helpless and other animals-in-need within Maricopa County,” said Kevin Rowe, Esq., founder of the Lerner and Rowe Gives Back foundation. “Lerner & Rowe Gives Back is proud to be part of her continued mission to ‘lend a paw’ and save the lives of thousands of our four-legged citizens.”

Animal welfare advocate Top Dog Eileen Proctor states that the number of animals that are euthanized each years can be reduced by taking the following actions:

• Spay/Neuter to help eliminate pet overpopulation
• Adopt from local animal welfare organizations
• Microship pets so they can be reunited with owners if lost

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back (LRGB) donated items to assist those who were injured and displaced in the F5 Oklahoma Tornado that raged across the state.  Our Arizona non-profit donated over 166 items to Mountain Bile Church in Payson, Arizona, to help  the injured and displaced.

Items purchased included teddy bears for younger kids, toys for older kids, and an assortment of personal care toiletry items for men and women.  We also donated cases of cat and dog food to assist animals that were separated and / or stranded.

You can also make a contribution to the Oklahoma tornado disaster relief program.  Here’s how:

• Help a local charity replenish their supplies after they shipped off  portions of their own to Oklahoma.
• Donations financially online to reputable charity groups, such as American Red Cross, Salvation Army, and the Central Oklahoma Humane Society.

Our nonprofit organization believes in paying forward our law firm achievements and successes by assisting other community organizations that serve children and families struggling from economic occurrences.  Please join us in helping making our communities better!  Together we can make a positive impact,  one good deed at a time.

It’s that time of year again… summertime, and the HEAT IS ON. Lerner and Rowe Gives Back and The Phoenix Rescue Mission need your help more than ever! Last year, Lerner & Rowe Gives Back collected a life changing 3,165 CASES of water (that’s 73,320 bottles of water) for the valley homeless and distributed them into the city along with other vital items. But we CAN DO BETTER!Did you know that although homelessness is down 3% nationwide, it is UP 11% in the valley, and the heat can and does kill! So we really need your help to blow last years numbers OUT OF THE WATER!

Kevin Rowe, founder of the Lerner and Rowe Gives Back Foundation, was gracious enough this year to kick off the drive and set an example by donating a $5,000 check to Phoenix Rescue Mission!  You can help too by donating bottled water, socks, hats, sunscreen, and / or a financial contribution of any amount. THANK YOU in advance for generosity and assistance in helping save lives this summer! Way to start us off the 2013 Code Red Summer Heat Relief project, Kevin!

Each company comes up with their own unique way of giving back and it all adds up to huge donations for Phoenix Children’s!

Gear up and save the date for AHS’ 5th annual Puttin’ for Pooches motorcycle ride Friday, April 12, 2013. This unique ride attracts animal lovers and motorcycle enthusiasts alike to benefit the homeless pets whocome through our doors. Each year, AHS welcomes the opportunity to partner with key business leaders to develop unique involvement and sponsorship opportunities.

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s ride will again align with Arizona Bike Week’s 2013 festivities. Chandler Harley Davidson will be home to the start of the ride, arming riders with a hearty complimentary breakfast, one-on-one store help and the opportunity to mingle with other motorcycle buffs. AHS will be onsite to share information about our many programs and services while showcasing a few of our very own adoptable pets!

The ride will take participants from Chandler, down to our 20 acre Campus for Compassion at South Mountain where they will be given an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the shelter and all of the lifesaving programs the ride will benefit. From there, bikers will enjoy the open road as they cruise to a catered lunch at Cave Creek’s Harold’s Corral and then finally ending at Arizona Bike Week’s Cyclefest at West World for free admission into the day’s activities.

Each $40 rider registration includes one admission into Cyclefest, (4) complimentary raffle tickets for a lunch time prize drawing and a limited addition Puttin’ for Pooches 2013 branded t-shirt and patch.

For 56 years, the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) has fostered the belief that every pet deserves a good life. More than an adoption center, AHS cares for more than 44,000 animals annually, responding to nearly 27,000 calls for help through the EAMT program and treating more than 11,000 homeless pets in our Second Chance Animal Hospital. AHS also houses a public clinic at each of our shelters, in addition to a mobile clinic, providing low-cost spay/neuter, wellness and reduced-cost veterinary services to all pet owners, regardless of income.

With a yearly operating budget of just over $14 million, AHS is proud that an astonishing 86 cents from every dollar received goes directly to our programs and services for homeless animals.

Whether it’s a rescue by our Emergency Animal Medical Technicians™ (EAMT™), a treatment in our Second Chance Animal Hospital™ or time to heal in one of our foster homes before adoption, AHS counts on the support of our generous corporate partners to make these programs a possibility.

It is with great pride that AHS invites Lerner & Rowe to take part in advocating for Arizona’s companion animals as a premier sponsor of the 2013 Puttin’ for Pooches motorcycle ride!
