Bertrand Berry Holiday Express Shopping Spree Set for December 16th

NFL Star’s 5th Annual B-Train’s Holiday Express with Childhelp Kids

Childhelp.org - December 03, 2008

(PRNewsChannel) / Scottsdale, Ariz. / Arizona Cardinal’s defensive star Bertrand Berry will be crashing through check out lines instead of quarterbacks as he joins the shopping rush the week before Christmas with children from Childhelp. This amazing annual event will put smiles on the faces of 50 kids from Childhelp’s KEYS Community Center as they shop with Bertrand and other players from the Cardinals on Dec 16.

“I am excited to do this every year,” said Berry. “It's for a great cause and the well-being of children is very important to me and more importantly the future of our country. Every year my teammates join me in making it possible to give these children a reason to smile by giving them a life experience they’ve never had before.”

The children will share in a one-of-a-kind experience with Berry and his Arizona Cardinals teammates at the Target located on 2140 E Baseline Rd Phoenix, AZ 85042 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.  Each child will have $100 to spend, as well as receive a t-shirt and other gifts.

“The Bertrand Berry Foundation is grateful for Childhelp and its founders Sara and Yvonne who for decades have been pivotal in saving and changing the lives of abused and neglected children,” continued Berry.  “Abuse and neglect is a very serious problem that needs to stop. I may not have the power to completely stop it but I have the ability to make their lives a little bit better for a moment in time.”
