About Us
MyTeacherMyHero.com supports RIFSoCal!
Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO of Warner Bros. and one of the most respected executives in the entertainment industry honors his mother, Lillian Helen Meyer and her dedication to RIFSoCal and the children we serve on MyTeacherMyHero.com. MyTeacherMyHero.com was created to recognize and thank teachers for their important role in our society, with the ultimate goal of inspiring more talented, intelligent people to join the teaching profession.
Lillian Meyer embodied the grassroots leadership and personal commitment that created, built and sustains RIFSoCal to this day. Her many years of service to the organization were a manifestation of her love of children and belief in the power of books and reading. By instilling the love of reading in thousands of disadvantaged children, she not only changed their lives but demonstrated a hands-on dedication that was a powerful example for all of our volunteers.
RIFSoCal sincerely appreciates The Barry and Wendy Meyer Foundation’s gift of $10,000 per year for three years ($30,000 total) to support our Motivational Reading Program at Hoover Elementary School for three years. Hoover serves one of the most disadvantaged communities in the city and perhaps for this reason, it was one of Lillian’s favorite sites. She regularly led motivational reading events and read to the children there.
