Things to Do: Massage for the Cure 9/14

In case you haven't heard about this...

On September 14th, take the fight  personally with a $49 massage.*

$15 from every massage during our one-day event will go to the local affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

Take the Fight Personally


If you don’t know someone with breast cancer, consider yourself both lucky and rare. In America, one in eight women are ultimately diagnosed with breast cancer. This can be scary to think about, but not impossible to overcome. For the last six years, Massage Envy has held Massage for the Cure to benefit the local affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. With the help of our dedicated therapists and caring clients, we’ve raised over $1.4 million for breast cancer research. And that’s just the beginning.

Due to the overwhelming response we’ve received, this year over 100 additional centers will be participating, totaling over 620 Massage Envy locations nationwide fighting for a cure. During our one-day event on September 14th, our goal is to raise $500,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. This may sound like a lofty mission, but with your help we can turn breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors.

How To Make An Impact

To be a part of Massage for the Cure, simply call your local Massage Envy starting August 14th and make an appointment for a $49, one-hour massage on September 14th. Massage Envy works directly with local Komen affiliates, so 100% of the funds raised during our one-day event will be used for education, screening and treatment programs in your local community.

Why Susan G. Komen for the Cure®?

When Massage Envy founder John Leonesio went searching for the right charitable partnership, he had two stipulations: The charity had to be passionate about their cause, and the cause had to be one that our clients truly cared about. When John came across Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, he knew he had found the perfect match. "Too many women have lived in fear of breast cancer for far too long", John 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."

The Massage Envy family is proud to partner with a charity that challenges us nationally while funding local breast cancer programs. Moreover, we are overwhelmed with the support we’ve received from our guests and members. Your dedication to the fight against breast cancer is as appreciated as it is inspiring.
