charity support
What is good for community is good for each of us.
All of us benefit from making our community a better place and we can’t think of a better place to be than Cleveland’s west side, which has been Sacred Hour’s home for nearly a decade. We’ve all been through a lot together, and there are still some of our friends and neighbors that need help. As a token of our appreciation for the community, Sacred Hour and its staff have made a commitment to contribute to charitable causes. Each therapist has chosen a local charity that will receive one percent of their gross earnings. In addition, Sacred Hour will match the total amount raised for each cause, and all monies will be donated at the end of the year. So, lie back and relax during your sacred hour with us — you’re giving back every time you receive.
