Massage Without Borders Helps Victims of Hurricane Sandy

[admin]

Massage Without Borders (MWB), a newly formed charitable organization, is
helping massage therapists and bodyworkers affected by Hurricane Sandy. Gloria
Coppola, massage therapist, owner of Massage Pro C.E., and founder of MWB, is
leading the efforts of more than 30 MTs to replace massage tables, raise funds
for massage students unable to pay tuition, and work to restore homes and
businesses lost in the hurricane.
“It’s been an amazing effort to help our colleagues,â€￾ Coppola says. “So many
connections have happened as a result.â€￾ MWB is partnering with Associated
Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) to raise funds through selling
T-shirts, and companies including Custom Craftworks, EarthLite, Oakworks, and
more are contributing to the organization.
Upcoming fundraising opportunities include a virtual concert, which will be
broadcast live on January 29 at www.massagenerd.com. Performers will
include colleagues and professional artists, and there will be an auction of
massage products and supplies to raise money.
