For Bill Lerner, philanthropy is more a string of opportunities than simply a standalone activity. His company supports a wide range of charitable organizations, but it is his instincts towards helping others that become more evident as one learns about his life.
-- When you own almost 150 parking facilities across NYC, like Mr. Bill Lerner does, you may start thinking about where to donate some money. Mr. Lerner is the president and CEO of iPark, and he always thinks of the future of this company. As a result, the innovative partnership with Tesla Motors, Inc., and CarCharging took place. This way, iPark can serve electric vehicles as well. Another factor that helped the growth of iPark from the 12 garages his family’s business had to the empire of today. Lerner also incorporated automated billing, ticketing, and bookkeeping. While for 2 decades he was a creative visionary, Lerner is now more of a well-known and active philanthropist. His largest project was founded just recently, and it’s called Billy4Kids. This organization takes an out-of-the-box approach to fighting parasitic infections in children by giving them access to reliable footwear. It’s estimated that more than 4,000 kids from Ghana, Haiti, and Brazil received Billy’s help. The result was that Lerner earned the Humanitarian Award at the Annual Edeyo Gives Hope Gala and recognition from St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children for three consecutive years.
For Bill Lerner, philanthropy is more a string of opportunities than simply a standalone activity. His company supports a wide range of charitable organizations, but it is his instincts towards helping others that become more evident as one learns about his life. In 2014, during a New York blizzard, Lerner noticed so many elderly people struggling to get to their cars that he had an epiphany to start a program that would help drivers dig out vehicles that have been buried in snow or ice across the city for free. “There are so many opportunities to help other people that can sometimes get overlooked,” says Lerner. “I think it’s a matter of looking at the world differently and always having an eye for how you might leave a positive impact, whether large or small. I feel very blessed with my success, and I recognize the best way to express that is by sharing it with the community.”
As Abraham Lincoln observed, “When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad.” It is this simple cause and effect that Lerner encourages everyone to be aware of. “Billy4Kids has especially brought an incredible amount of joy, perspective, and humility to my life, which has even proved to be beneficial in and outside of the business world,” says Lerner. “If something makes you feel that good, you can trust that the rest of the world is feeling it as well.”
When he’s not working tirelessly with iPark and Billy4Kids, Bill Lerner’s ultimate passions in life are his wife and three children. He’s been recognized as a thought-leader in his field and frequently appears on television programs to share his expertise with aspiring entrepreneurs and industry professionals. Lerner’s accomplishments have been featured in The Atlantic, Leaders Magazine, on Radio America, WABC-TV, and 33Voices.
