Lerner & Rowe Gives Back Presents $2,500 to United Way Northwest Indiana's Day of Caring

Valparaiso, IN – October 27, 2025 – United Way Northwest Indiana is proud to announce a gift of $2,500 to  support Day of Caring from Lerner and Rowe Gives Back. The donation underscores Lerner and Rowe’s  commitment to supporting community-wide volunteerism and the region’s largest single-day service event.  

The 2025 United Way Day of Caring, hosted on August 1st by United Way Northwest Indiana, brought over  650 volunteers to complete more than 80 service projects that strengthened local nonprofits and improved  communities. Sponsorships like Lerner and Rowe’s not only made this day possible but will also help United  Way expand volunteerism throughout the year. A new volunteer portal will soon make it easier than ever for  community members to find and sign up for opportunities to give back year-round. 

“Day of Caring is about more than one day—it’s about inspiring ongoing service and collaboration across  Northwest Indiana,” said Kristina Fry, Vice President of Development at United Way Northwest Indiana.  “Support from partners like Lerner and Rowe Gives Back ensures we can unite nonprofits and volunteers not  only for this event, but through year-round opportunities that strengthen the entire region.” 

Lerner and Rowe Gives Back, the charitable arm of Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys, is dedicated to making  a difference in the lives of people and organizations in the communities where their team members live and  work. 

“We are honored to support Day of Caring and the mission behind it,” said Arianna Baiz, Outreach Director for  Lerner and Rowe Gives Back. “United Way’s leadership in bringing nonprofits and volunteers together creates  real change. We’re excited to know our sponsorship will also help fuel long-term volunteer efforts through the  new portal.” 

The $2,500 sponsorship reflects Lerner and Rowe’s commitment to empowering community action and  ensuring nonprofits have the volunteers and resources needed to carry out their missions.
