Get a massage, help fight breast cancer
Massage Envy will team up with Susan G. Komen for the Cure Sept. 15 to help win the fight against breast cancer by hosting Massage for the Cure.
During this one-day event, Massage Envy clinics will offer $35 one-hour therapeutic massage sessions, with $10 from each massage being donated directly to the Northern Nevada affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Additional donations also will 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 Northern Nevada Massage Envy clinics. Reservations are being taken now.
All proceeds from Massage for the Cure will support breast cancer education, screening and treatment initiatives in communities across the country.
Since the first Massage for the Cure event in 2005, Massage Envy has raised more than $800,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This year, Massage Envy's goal is to raise $500,000, with an estimated 590 Massage Envy clinics in 40 states participating.
