Schomp hosts annual Children’s Hospital Colorado sales event
Helping children with life-threatening burns is the reason behind Schomp Automotive’s 28th Annual Children’s Hospital Colorado Sales Event, through Saturday, July 28. Schomp BMW, Schomp Honda and Schomp MINI will donate a portion of the profits from every new and pre-owned vehicle sale or lease to the Children’s Hospital Colorado Burn Center.
The funds generated have amounted to more than $350,000 over the years. They benefit The Children’s Hospital Colorado Burn Center – the only one of its kind in the state devoted entirely to providing prevention-based education and treating pediatric burn patients like Trinity, this year’s Children’s Hospital Colorado Ambassador.
Trinity was just 12 years old when she and her friends were enjoying a backyard bonfire in her hometown of Granby. One boy threw oil and gas on the fire, some of which splashed on Trinity. When the wind shifted, her clothes caught fire and Trinity was burned over 25 percent of her body. She was airlifted to Children’s Hospital Colorado. During the past several months she’s undergone extensive rehabilitation and several skin-graft surgeries.
Trinity’s positive attitude and determination have led her to mentor other burn victims. The Children’s Hospital Colorado Burn Center staff chose her to be the center’s 2018 Ambassador. Trinity has visited the Schomp campus and will be on hand during part of the sale week.
While the 28th Annual Schomp Children’s Hospital Colorado Sales Event has a serious purpose, it’s also a time for our customers and their families to learn and have fun. They can enjoy carnival snacks like popcorn and cotton candy and there will be multiple hydration stations to help beat the July heat.
Visitors to the Schomp Automotive Highlands Ranch campus on July 26-28 will receive a voucher to use at food trucks parked from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on the drive between the BMW and Honda facilities.
