Sip-n-Snip Summer this August

Small business owners John Leavitt of Sports Clips and Doug Howell of Smoothie King have teamed up to help a Falcon baby born with severe heart defects. The two are hosting fundraisers in August at their businesses (details below) to benefit the Family Fund for AnnaSophia Berry.

AnnaSophia Berry was born Dec. 31, 2007 with misaligned arteries and a hole in her heart. When several open-heart surgeries failed to correct the problems and her heart eventually began to fail, doctors put her on the heart transplant list. She received her new heart July 12.

Her parents and two older siblings have had to temporarily relocate to the Ronald McDonald House near the Children’s Hospital in Aurora to be close to the hospital for emergency visits and check-ups, while her father attempts to continue working at his job in Colorado Springs.

Now it’s time to show a little heart of our own and help out this special family!

Sunday, Aug. 10
Smoothie King, 9275 N. Union (at Briargate Parkway), will donate 30 percent of the day’s proceeds to the fund.


All Saturdays in August
Sport Clips, 3736 Bloomington St. (Powers Boulevard and N. Carefree Circle), will donate $5 from each MVP haircut service to the fund.

Can’t make it to a Sip-n-Snip event but want to give to the fund? Contact any ENT Federal Credit Union and mention the Family Fund for AnnaSophia Berry.

Special thanks to our supporters.
