Champion of Hope Award

Bolaños Lowe PLLC

 Congratulations, Karlee Bolaños and Bill Lowe!

For more than 75 years Villa of Hope has been serving our community - that is a long time for a non-profit to thrive!  It could not have been done without the support of the community and outstanding leaders. This year, we celebrate our third annual “Champion of Hope” award.  This honor is awarded to a community leader or organization who has given tirelessly of themselves and helped the Villa to advance its mission of serving youth and families in Rochester.

We are proud to present the Champion of Hope award for 2021 to Bolaños Lowe PLLC. Active financial supporters of Villa of Hope, Karlee and Bill have supported our Gala and Golf events during over the years.  As our corporate counsel, Karlee has educated our workforce on many topics related to safety and compliance in the workplace.  Bill Lowe, her partner, has done deep dives with us on contracts and negotiations to be sure the Villa is protected and getting a fair contract. 

Beyond the donations and the work, Bolaños Lowe demonstrates their passion for the mission of Villa of Hope.  Theirs is a genuine affection for our adults, families, youth, and staff at the Villa.  This past December, Bolaños Lowe adopted one of our group homes for the Holidays – purchasing gifts for every resident in that home.  Knowing that there are members of the community that care that deeply makes all the difference to the people we serve. 

When the people we serve know who you are, and are grateful for what you do for the Villa your impact is undeniable.  Karlee and Bill, thank you for all you do for Villa of Hope – helping to protect us, guide us, and enabling us to change lives and plant seeds of hope with everyone we touch.
