Local Massage Firm Gives Back

Each July, the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) sponsors EveryBody Deserves a Massage Week, an event geared towards helping those less fortunate, while raising the profession’s visibility. This year, The Back Rub Company, the valley’s largest on-site massage and wellness firm, has teamed up with ABMP to participate in the program.

From July 20-26, ABMP will encourage and support The Back Rub Company in its efforts to create community awareness, donate to charity and provide special gifts with each massage. The firm will donate 10% of its profits from each massage scheduled at one of their four valley massage clinics (Central and South Phoenix, South Scottsdale and Mesa) to 100 Club of Arizona. The organization provides immediate assistance to the surviving families of public safety officers and firefighters killed or seriously injured in the line of duty.

“We hope to help the 100 Club as they raise funds to embark on a Hero's Quest,” says Tiffany Richards, The Back Rub Company owner. “It’s a 3,500 mile bicycle journey from Phoenix to Panama City in an effort to raise at least $50,000 for the families of these real-life heroes.”
