Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) August 17, 2010
On Tuesday, September 14, 2010, Massage Envy will team up with Susan G. Komen for the Cure to help win the fight against breast cancer by hosting Massage for the Cure. During this one-day event, the Phoenix massage (http://www. massageenvy. com) centers will offer $49 one-hour therapeutic massage sessions, with $15 from each massage being donated directly to the Phoenix affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Additional donations will also be accepted and all proceeds collected will go directly into the local community.
The event is open to the public and requires an appointment at any of the 26 Valley Massage Envy centers. Reservations opened on Saturday, August 14, 2010. All proceeds from Massage for the Cure will support breast cancer education, screening and treatment initiatives in communities across the U. S.
“Massage Envy is extremely proud to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure and to continue the partnership that we’ve developed to raise funds for breast cancer efforts in our community,” said Steven Cook, regional developer for Arizona and Las Vegas.
Since the first Massage for the Cure event in 2005, Massage Envy has raised more than $1.4 million for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This year, Massage Envy’s goal is to raise $500,000, with an estimated 620 Massage Envy centers in 42 states participating.
Last year alone, more than 180,000 women and men in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will lose their lives to the disease. A woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes and the disease claims another life every 13 minutes.
