411 Pain Celebrates Arbor Day 2013 By Giving Away FREE TREES!

411 Pain Celebrates Arbor Day 2013 By Giving Away FREE TREES!


Robert Lewin, founder of 411-Pain, is always giving back to the community. He and 411 Pain are proud to sponsor the Read And Rise program which brings books and reading to underprivileged children.
This year, Robert Lewin and 411 Pain are giving the gift of clean air and helping beautify the landscape by supporting the Arbor Day foundation and making the world, YOUR world, a greener place.

Most people have heard of Arbor Day and The Arbor Day Foundation, but 411 Pain would like to share a bit of the history with you.

It all began back in 1845, when the first pioneers were moving out to Nebraska. Among them was J Sterling Morton of Detroit.
Once the settlers arrived in Nebraska, they were surprised and disappointed at the lack of trees. Nebraska is, after all, in the Great American Prairie.
The pioneers missed trees and also understood the need for them - trees provide shade, shelter from wind and a weight to keep soil in place and wood with it's myriad of uses.
Morton spread his enthusiasm and by 1872, a plan was set in motion to have an "Arbor Day" with prizes awarded to whoever planted the most trees. The date was April 10, and an estimated ONE MILLION TREES were planted in Nebraska that day!
In 1885, Arbor Day became a legal holiday and April 22 - J Sterling Morton's birthday, became the official date of it's celebration.
Celebrations took place with parades and tree plantings - and school children would gather together by grade and plant a tree that they would care for.
Throughout the 1870s, more states passed legislation to celebrate Arbor Day and in 1882 the the schools nationwide adopted the tradition.

Arbor Day is currently celebrated in the United States the last Friday in April, but due to variance in planting seasons, some states celebrate in different months. 411 Pain provides the following list of when Arbor Day is observed in each state and the state tree.

411 Pain Helps "Castaways" Paddle Toward a Cancer Cure

411 Pain Helps "Castaways" Paddle Toward a Cancer Cure

411 Pain is a generous contributor to the Castaways Against Cancer.
The kayak enthusiasts who make up this organization are on a mission to raise money for cancer.  The proceeds they generate are turned over to the American Cancer Society.

Every year, kayakers come from all over the country and from all walks of life to paddle their way from Miami to Key West.  In addition to raising money to eradicate cancer, they also raise awareness about the horrible impact the disease can have on both a patient and their loved ones during the  200 mile journey.

Dr. Robert Lewin via his organization 411 Pain, can help obtain financial relief for victims injured in motor vehicle accidents.  Like injuries suffered in car wrecks, cancer therapies can wreak havoc on a patient's  bones, muscles, and joints.  Understanding this,  Lewin, a doctor of chiropractic medicine, is a proud contributor to the efforts of the "Castaways Against Cancer."
Like their mission to earn money for cancer research, 411 Pain's purpose is to ease the monetary
burdens associated with car accidents.

411 Pain's Read & Rise Program

411 Pain's Read & Rise Program Opens a New Chapter in Children's Futures With Free Books


411 Pain is there for drivers injured in car accidents and it is there for our children as they journey
down the road of education.  The 411 Pain Read & Rise program provides free books to  low income elementary school students throughout South Florida.

The Read & Rise program gives $5 gift certificates to students who redeem them at book fairs.
The books are provided by Scholastic, maker of books, magazines, and educational programs for more than 90 years. The children get to choose the titles that interest them which can provide the spark
for a life long love of reading.

Thrilled by the experience of buying their own books, the grateful children penned thank you notes
which reflect the impact reading brings to their lives.  Michelle, a fourth grader, writes
"I really appreciate my book that is called Ever After.  It is about a girl and her brother
saving a princess from eating a poison apple.  I really thank you for giving my school the money."
Third grader  Latavia  writes in her thank you note "I bought a book called Barbie.
You make me happy 411 Pain. I like when you help us." 
Help is exactly what the literacy program provides. Not just with the treat of new books, but by giving our children a strong foundation in reading.  Without it statistics show many are likely to fall victim to social ills that burden our society as a whole. Ills like teen pregnancy, drug abuse, and unemployment.  Recognizing this 411 Pain CEO Dr. Robert Lewin is giving back to his community by giving books to our financially challenged youth. “We are proud to be part of a program which encourages young students to enjoy reading, and, as a result, get a chance for a better start in life,” says Dr. Lewin.  His return on an investment of more than $125,000 is thrilling children by the thousands with books they can call their own.

411 Pain has a nationwide network of offices providing people involved in car accidents
information and assistance they need.  The business was established in 1997 in South Florida.

411 Pain - Read & Rise Program - Gift of Books

411 Pain Gives South Florida’s Children the Gift of Books With its Read & Rise Program

Walt Disney, who had one of the greatest imaginations the world has ever known said “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.”   This from a man who dropped out
of high school at age 16 and went on to create an entire world based on stories and fantasy.

Like Disney, 411 Pain President Dr. Robert Lewin is also aware of the power of reading and he is committed to combatting childhood illiteracy.   “Every child deserves the opportunity to let their
imagination run wild,” says Dr. Lewin ,  who  gives tens of thousands of children that very opportunity every year with the 411 Pain Read & Rise program.   The program gives $5.00 reading certificates to thousands of children who redeem them to obtain books and magazines at annual  school book fairs.   Scholastic, the
world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books, gives the young readers a myriad of reading material to choose from.

According to the National Education Association, children who are read to at home have a higher success rate in school.  This program is designed to encourage children to read by allowing them to choose
and purchase a book of their own.  The students are also urged to take their new books home to share with their families.

If the thank you letters written by the children who benefit are any indication, the program is working.  The notes are thoughtful, insightful, and clearly express the love and gratitude they feel having
received the gift of a new book. Moises of Florida City Elementary School writes “thank you 411 Pain for the ticket because we like funny books, scary books, and cool books.”  His schoolmate Yoseline shares her awareness of the plight of some students who can’t afford to buy book in her letter.
She writes “thank you 411 Pain. You gave us money for our school and I thank you for the certificate because some people didn’t have money to go to the book fair. And since you gave us the certificate I got the book “Flat Stanley.” The teachers call the gesture on 411 Pain’s part generous and thoughtful.
Mrs. Calloway who teaches 4th and 5th grade writes in her thank you note, “The students loved the books.” Some of them even illustrated their messages as creatively as the pages in the story books they selected.

Reading is only part of Dr. Lewin’s crusade to encourage education for our children.   411 Pain also sponsors programs to send children to school with the proper supplies to earn the best education
possible.   There are also rewards programs to honor teachers who do go above and beyond to educate our children. Dr. Lewin reminds us all, a good education not only benefits our children, it benefits society as a whole.

411 Pain, an organization that helps people recover following car accidents, is also dedicated to preventing
the South Florida’s children from experiencing the social and psychological distress that comes with illiteracy.
Pain like drug abuse, unemployment and teen pregnancy all social ills which more often than not accompany
the inability to read.  With the Read and Rise program, children are inspired to read not only as a requirement for school, but also as a form of enjoyment that will follow them into adulthood.

Dr. Robert Lewin 411 Pain For The Importance of Education



It has always been said that knowledge is power. And its true, preparing yourself at a young age will give you the tools to survive in our world today. Education is vital to the healthy growth and development of one's personality. Educating people is not just for individual benefit; it also brings a positive change in society.

The fundamental purpose of education is to: gain knowledge, recognize the forms of proper conduct and develop technical aptitudes in a specific subject. It helps to improve individuals physically, mentally and socially. That’s how education makes a difference in one's life. Unfortunately many people in our country don’t have the means or opportunities to do so.

Robert Lewin, CEO of 411-Pain believes everyone has the right to an education and has strived to help  young people in South Florida have the same opportunities. He doesn’t want to see a child held back because of a financial situation they have no control over. This has involved him in various charitable events and playing an extensive role in altruistic campaigns. Dr. Lewin’s passion for education starts at home with his children, whose love of reading he wanted to share with other people. Dr. Robert Lewin and 411 Pain regularly sponsor local book fairs for underprivileged children in the South Florida area. They provide each student with a five-dollar gift certificate in hopes of ensuring every child who attends the book fair leaves with a book.


“We are proud to be part of a program that encourages young students to enjoy reading, and, as a result, get a chance for a better start in life,” said Dr. Robert Lewin “Investing in our youths education now can develop a generation of responsible individuals who will bring great rewards to our community in the future”.

Its not just students who are benefiting from Dr Lewin’s charitable work, he also supports schoolteachers in the area. He has created and sponsored programs to acknowledge and reward teachers so they may continue their work. Dr. Lewin considers teachers to be the most influential people in our lives. “They are the ones that forge us, teach us about life and guide us through the path that’s best for us”. 

As long as there is a demand Dr. Robert Lewin will continue to give children the opportunities to get the education that they deserve. He invites and encourages everyone to join him.
