Making a Difference: Massage Envy – Massage for the Cure
Massage Envy is giving new meaning to the phrase “helping hands.” For six years and running, the company has been raising funds for the non-profit organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure with their own Massage for the Cure program. This past September was no different.
The battle against breast cancer is an ongoing one, and on September 14th, guests of Massage Envy were invited to take on the fight personally. By indulging in a $49 massage–with $15 from each massage going to the Southern Nevada affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure–clients contributed to this cause in a most relaxing way! With the nationwide cooperation of over 620 Massage Envy locations, the event raised more than $400,000, which can be added to a tally of over 1.4 million that has been raised in previous years. Put to use in local communities, these contributions enable greater opportunities for breast cancer education, screening, and treatment programs.
‘Too many women have lived in fear of breast cancer for far too long,’ Massage Envy founder John Leonesio stated. ‘It is my hope that our annual event will raise awareness about the importance of early detection and early treatment so we may help those diagnosed with the disease increase their chances of survival.’ Visit www.MassageEnvy.com or www.KomenSouthernNevada.org for more info.
