ABMP is proud to sponsor EveryBody Deserves a Massage Week every July. During this event, ABMP members give their time, money, and effort to help those less fortunate, while raising the profession’s visibility. In 2007, the program won a silver award from the Colorado Healthcare Communicators for its overall excellence. The 2010 EveryBody Deserves a Massage Week will be held July 18-24. Massage therapists can order free materials from 800-458-2267, ext 632.

In this community effort, ABMP encourages and supports members in donating time to such community-spirited activities as offering complimentary massages while collecting cash or canned-food donations to charity. Other efforts include making special offers and discounts to senior citizens, students, police and firefighters, as well as charity telethon work and health fair participation.
