Over 50 million Americans, including 300,000 children, have arthritis, making it the #1 cause of disability in the country. Massage Envy and the Arthritis Foundation share a common understanding about the devastating effects of arthritis and the potential for massage therapy to relieve and control certain symptoms. Healing Hands for Arthritis, a one-day, in-clinic nationwide event raises over $1 million for the Arthritis Foundation.
Massage Envy Asheville is partnering with Mix 96.5 to raise awareness for the condition as well as money to help those affected by hosting a ticketed dinner at Strada Italiano on Thursday, September 15th, including a silent auction where 100% of the proceeds go to the Arthritis Foundation.
Local businesses are invited to get involved either through sponsorship or by donating a gift to be included in the silent auction. Contact Dawn Larsen at (828) 255-8900, ext. 102.
