At Lerner and Rowe Gives Back, we love to support hometown heroes. One of the ways we do this is by sponsoring community events that pay tribute to local police, firefighters, EMTs and other first responders. As such, our Las Vegas team jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the Hometown Heroes Night at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 9.

Lerner & Rowe Gives Back Donates $5K to Help Search for Missing Youth

Our Las Vegas outreach team joins F.R.E.E. International, KlassKIDS, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, and other organizations and volunteers for Nevada Child Seekers’ annual The BIG Search in Las Vegas. As with previous years, The BIG Search 2022 in Las Vegas occurs over SuperBowl weekend. 

We are honored for the opportunity to participate in The BIG Search and offer a $5,000 gift that will be used to cover the costs of the three-day search and rescue event.

What Is The BIG Search?

The BIG Search is just that–a major search effort spread across the Las Vegas Valley as a means to help locate Nevada Child Seekers’ “Top 30” missing local youth. During the search, volunteers hit the streets in a grassroots effort to distribute booklets and baseball cards to locals and tourists that feature photos and other identifiable details of the missing youth. 

These distribution efforts have proven to be optimal in helping to locate and assist missing and exploited youth in the Las Vegas area–not only those on the “Top 30” list. The information also helps to increase awareness of the local programs and organizations available to assist youth that may be in danger of exploitation and sex trafficking.   

Statistics of Missing Youth in Southern Nevada 

According to statistics provided by Nevada’s Missing Children Clearinghouse, over 8,000 children are reported missing each year in Nevada. Approximately 200 are considered endangered or abducted. 

How You Can Help

Contact Nevada Child Seekers directly to learn more about how the agency assists families and law enforcement locate missing children in Las Vegas and across the country. Call 702-458-7009, email [email protected], or visit NevadaChildSeekers.org.

Our Las Vegas team is pleased to give back in support of Raise the Future’s 2022 Project Valentine with a $2,500 gift. Our donation will be used to help send out 350+ handwritten valentines to youth in foster care.

Each valentine will also include a $5.00 gift card to a local food establishment.

The Story Behind Project Valentine

Project Valentine started in 2021 as a means to help combat an increase of pain and isolation felt by youth in foster care during COVID-19 lockdowns. This project shows one of Nevada’s most vulnerable populations that someone does care and is thinking of them this Valentine’s Day by sending them a message of love and hope. 

Join us in showing these youth that they are valued and not forgotten by donating your own valentine(s) now online, or by texting ProjValentine to 41444. (Message and data rates may apply). Each $7 donation covers printing and mailing of the gift and Valentine’s cards.
