screenings, the CCF partnered with Ascension on October 20 to provide<br />
mammograms to women in need through Ascensions Mobile Mammography<br />

CCF Supercuts<br />
Gives First Haircut<br />
CCF’s Supercuts barbershop was<br />
developed to give those with special<br />
needs a safe and quiet environment<br />
to get a haircut. Many of<br />
those suffering from sensory issues<br />
have difficulty during a haircut, as<br />
they do not like anyone touching<br />
their head. CCF’s Supercuts<br />
schedules one-hour appointments<br />
to ensure a one-on-one haircutting<br />
experience that is noise and<br />
stress free and introduces each<br />
piece of styling equipment to the<br />
client before use.<br />
