In 1997, Leeper's Lawn Service started a tree donation program for a not for profit organization as a way for Leeper's Lawn Service to help beautify the Fort Wayne and surrounding area.For our first year Leeper's Lawn Service donated to the Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church by Miami Middle School. In the second year, the donation was to Headwaters State Park.

In 1999 we chose the Boy Scouts of America Troop #44 of Waynedale because of their continued effort in helping the young people in our community. Two white flowering Crabs were donated and planted around the Boy Scouts sign at the corner of Ardmore and Lower Huntington Roads in Waynedale.
