A Cherry Creek Fashion Brand Partnership
Presented by Cherry Creek Shopping Center
Shopping centers like Cherry Creek fuel the local economy and help our neighbors and our community get back to work. With over 3,000 employees from the Denver area, Cherry Creek Shopping Center wants to thank you for putting our community first and supporting those that live and work in it.
This month, Cherry Creek Shopping Center launches the Community First initiative which includes shining a spotlight on the wonderful employees at various brands and supporting charities and organizations in the community. In part 4 of our 8-part weekly Community First Series, we feature Heather O’Hara of Altar’d State.
