Smoothie King in south Fort Myers opened recently and is already involved in the community.
The health conscious smoothie franchise on College Parkway will be kicking off a fundraising partnership with the Cypress Lake Hornets on July 26 at Rutenberg Park.
"We always like to get involved in the community because it's a way to give back," said Ben Starr, part-owner of the smoothie shop.
Smoothie King is going to offer smoothies at each of the home games to raise money that provides a safe place for kids to participate in football and cheerleading.
"We got with Rutenberg Park because they are close to us and we will work to help them out," Starr said. "Those parents and kids can be our customers too."
The Cypress Lake Hornets are a Pop-Warner Little Scholars nonprofit youth football and cheer program that raises money for its rising operating costs.
That's why fundraisers and the help of the community are so important, Starr said.
Smoothie King will be at the park from 1 to 5 p.m. along with fire trucks, ambulances, Nortrax and Posen construction equipment and other sponsors.
Smoothie King has more than 430 stores operating in 34 states nationwide, including 18 stores in Seoul, Korea.
