Massage for the Cure Event to Benefit Susan G. Komen

Massage Envy’s fourth annual fundraiser event, “Massage for the Cure” provides complimentary one-hour therapeutic massages in exchange for a donation at its 25 statewide locations to raise funds for the Phoenix and Southern Arizona Affiliates of Susan G. Komen.  The event to be held Monday, September 15, 2008, 8:00am – 10:00pm is open to the public and massage requires an appointment. *

Komen, as well as breast cancer education, screening and treatment initiatives in Arizona.

Last year, “Massage for the Cure” provided close to 1,700 one-hour, therapeutic massages during the day long event and was able to raise more than $55,000 in Arizona.
