Massage for a Cause

Body & Soul is having an open house benefitting the ALS Association in memory of Aracelis N. Olivera on Thursday May 7th 5-8pm.

May is National ALS Awareness Month, and Body & Soul's annual Open House will raise money and awareness for ALS research and to honor the late Aracelis Oliveria - the mother of employee Lisette Olivera - who passed away in 1998.

Attendees of this special event will enjoy a free sampling of services from the licensed massage therapists of Body & Soul Massage and Wellness Center, including hand paraffin, chair massages, hot stone demonstrations, reflexology, and more. Refreshments will also be provided.

A donation of $5 at the door is requested. All donations will benefit the ALS Association. ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and is often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease", a debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disease that is often fatal.
