Transforming children's
lives through
education and healthcare
OUR MISSION
To enhance the quality of life for the children of Southern Nevada by improving access to quality healthcare and other essential needs through partnerships with community-based organizations.
Who We Are
Our team represents three generations of the Bower Family – grandparents, aunts, uncles and grandchildren included – as well as friends of the family.
We are leveraging our personal and professional experiences and deep roots in Southern Nevada to build a better community. We work together to identify and support high-impact organizations in our community.
What We Do
We are a trusted partner in the generosity process. When you choose to sponsor an event, register for a golf tournament, or donate to the Bower Fund, your contribution plays a crucial role in transforming the lives of local children.
Your dollars are specifically directed towards addressing educational and healthcare needs within our community, reflecting the core of our mission. Then, our team meticulously researches and assesses various charities that are actively involved in creating a tangible impact. Together, we strive to bridge the gaps faced by children affected by poverty and inequity, fostering a brighter future for the younger generation.
Our History
Our Founder, Dr. Joel Bower, and his wife, Carol Bower, moved from Pennsylvania to Henderson, Nevada in 1971. Dr. Bower practiced medicine for over 35 years in both private practice and within the Dignity Health hospital system.
During his career as an obstetrician, Dr. Bower delivered over 5,000 children and was an integral member of Henderson’s medical community. In 2020, Dr. Bower founded The Bower Fund to provide a means for children, and their families, to access the healthcare and educational resources they need to thrive.
