From the inbox: Champs to celebrate grand re-opening benefiting St. Baldrick's

Lots of good info in the inbox the past couple weeks, so I'm sharing another one. Champs in Lombard has gotten a makeover and they are launching the new look this Thursday. Also, 10 percent of sales that day will go to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. I love that! My two youngest boys, now 9 and 11, have participated in St. Baldrick's campaigns the past couple of years, raising money for childhood cancer research and shaving their heads. Great to see Champps helping out such a worthy charity as part of their celebration. Stop in and check out the new look.
