As many of you might have heard, three employees of Sapphire were involved in a terrible car accident as they left work last week. Josh Gilliland & Chris Wissing are home recovering from injuries they received and are expected to be as good as new in the near future.

However, Lydia Rock, one of their first employees and a friend of 520 (also the "star" of our Pub Crawl posters) remains in the hospital in a coma.

The Sapphire family has decided to host a benefit party for Lydia to help raise funds to cover her mounting expenses. On Thursday, Sep 28th, the bar will be offering Happy Hour pricing from open til close. There will be DJ music beginning at 10 p.m. A portion of the sales will go to Lydia and her family but also, a hat will be passed throughout the evening to receive your individual donations and cards.

Not only is Sapphire known for their outstanding food, drinks and service, but also for their close-knit family of employees. Please lend Lydia Rock and the rest of the Sapphire staff your support during this difficult time.
