Help Us Continue to Advance the Profession
Be a holiday hero and help us continue to fund research, community service, and education. We sometimes think that we have to give a lot to make an impact. However, the truth is as little as $10, $15, or $20 will help the Foundation continue to provide programs and opportunities that are crucial to advancing the massage therapy profession.
