We at IPPT Career School are pleased to participate in charitable donations. We often donate massages to those who otherwise would probably not have the opportunity to receive one or to those who are greatly deserving of a massage yet do not have the funds or the time to receive one. In recent times we had donated massages to the Los Angeles Unified School District during their Teacher Appreciation Week. There we went directly to the school(s) and brought with us massage chairs; giving massages to the teachers that are tirelessly committed to educating the future generation. We have also, gone out to the Pepsi Cola bottling plant, where an on-site wellness center was implemented by John Hopkins, and we gave massages to the workers. We’ve participated in charity functions for The American Cancer Society, as well as The Ronald McDonald House and many others. If you are a massage therapist and are interested in donating your time for charity, please feel free to contact us at 888-988-IPPT (4778) or email us at info@ippt.com.
