Massage Envy® Partners with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
“Massage for The Cure” Provides Free One-Hour Massages to Benefit Breast Cancer Research
Phoenix, Arizona – July 11, 2006 – Schedule a massage for yourself and help others during the process. On Monday, September 18, all of the greater-Phoenix metro area Massage Envy® clinics will offer free one-hour therapeutic massages in partnership with the Phoenix Affiliate of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
All proceeds raised during the “Massage for The Cure” event will support breast cancer research initiatives through The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. For a donation of any amount, Valley residents will receive a free therapeutic massage from any of the 16 Valley-wide Massage Envy locations. Each location will offer information about the fatal disease, which affects nearly 213,000 women each year.
Reservations for appointments, which will run from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., will be accepted beginning Monday, September 11, and it is recommended that visitors schedule early. Reservations can be made by contacting a participating Massage Envy clinic directly or calling 602-992-ENVY.
“Too many women have lived in fear of breast cancer for far too long,” said Massage Envy founder and CEO John Leonesio. “Our partnership with The Susan G. Komen Foundation will not only raise much needed dollars to fund mammograms and breast cancer research, but will also raise awareness about the importance of early detection and early treatment to offer the best chance of survival. We are proud to donate an entire day’s proceeds in honor of our employees who have been affected by breast cancer along with the Phoenix members of Massage Envy.”
Last year, 16 Valley-wide Massage Envy locations participated in the one-day event which raised $41,000 – more than four times the original goal.
