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.

The selection of the LeighAnn Palmer Memorial Park and Playground coincide with its completion earlier this year. The dedication of this park and playground occurred Saturday, June 24th with over 200 people in attendance.

This park and playground at Avalon Pool was constructed through many persons and companies efforts, both monetary and personally. It was built to honor the memory of LeighAnn Palmer who tragically drowned at the pool seven years ago. Her parents, Mike and Lisa Palmer and friends John and Barb Encoff have worked diligently over the past several years to make this park and playground possible.

Cory Leeper, Jeff Hoehn and the Leeper's Lawn Service staff are very honored to be a small part of the park and playground completion.

For the past Four years in December, Leeper's Lawn Service has given away over 450 Christmas trees to Fort Wayne and Waynedale area families. Our full time staff and families have donated their time by doing various jobs that day. Volunteers participated by passing out coffee and donuts, loading and tying down trees on cars, and passing out Christmas tree ornaments.

All of us have seen a lot of happy faces. We are sure we made a difference in making these family's Christmas a happy one.
