Volunteering:
We are so grateful to all the wonderful friends, family, and strangers that have unselfishly given of their time, talent, and love to support us from the beginning of our journey. We know we could never do it alone and we greatly appreciate all the volunteers who have helped us get this far. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us and let us know what you would like to do or how you can help.

Thanks again!

Barefoot Books:
Lori (Hawkins) Hachenski has so graciously volunteered to host an ongoing fundraiser through Barefoot Books. Lori currently resides in Riverview, MI but grew up in Trenton and graduated from high school with Emily’s sister, Sarah. After starting a family and coming across Barefoot Books, Lori decided to become a stallholder for their wonderful products and has offered to donate 10% of sales to Smiles For Sophie Forever.

In order for your purchase to qualify, you must purchase the books through Lori’s site and you must enter the event code, EV74, upon checkout. If you choose to purchase the books locally from Lori, please mention you are doing so to help support Smiles For Sophie Forever, as she will keep track of local sales as well.

To browse through available products, get information on events or contact Lori, please visit her site at: www.mybarefootbooks.com/LoriHachenski

Four-B Vending LLC:
Bobi and David Biederman and Aaron and Debbie Biederman, of Four-B Vending LLC, a newly established vending machine company, have also graciously volunteered to support Smiles For Sophie Forever. Bobi and David, and their two children, are from Avon Lake and learned about Sophie’s story through flyers at National City Bank in the Avon Lake Giant Eagle. Bobi was then again reminded of Sophie’s story at the Avon Lake Early Childhood PTA, as she signed up to bake for an event. Aaron is David’s brother, and he and his wife, Debbie, live in Bedford, Ohio with their three children. In creating their company, they “believe that any caring and successful business should give back to the community and to charitable organizations.” They chose Smiles For Sophie Forever as one of the charitable organizations to support and we are grateful for their generosity.

They are a new company and at this time have five vending machines in the local area:

Avon Family Barber 2525 Nagel Road Avon, OH 44011	Shop Avon Import Auto Clinic 32120 Detroit Road, Bldg C Avon, OH 44011
