The North Carolina State Massage Championship
The North Carolina State Massage Championship is a community-based gathering of licensed massage therapists and massage therapy students who want to learn new techniques, be inspired by the work of other therapists, showcase their talents, and network with like-minded professionals in a fun, rewarding network marketing atmosphere.
Why Compete??
Yes, we are primarily a competition, however, we want to build a community for Massage Therapists to find professional inspiration, networking, and to help prevent burnout. Massage therapists rate of burnout is high. Most young professionals will leave the profession before 5 years of service. We hope to help improve that rate by showcasing different ways to preform massage.
By participating in our state championship, Massage Therapists will get the opportunity to strengthen and improve their skills. We have hand selected our judges from the finest in the state. Each contestant will receive feedback. Plus, a Diploma will be issued for each participant, enabling the Massage Therapists to brand their business in a new way.
A portion of our proceeds will go to a charity that helps combat against human trafficking in our profession. We are proud to announce we are supporting A21.
News coverage
It is estimated that tens of millions of people are held in modern day slavery today. But I believe in a world without slavery. That’s why I’m partnering with A21, a global non-profit that is working in 18 locations across 13 countries to eradicate human trafficking.
One of A21’s strategies in the fight against human trafficking is Rescue. Rescue focuses on partnering with authorities to secure the freedom of victims and the conviction of traffickers through various programs including 24/7 human trafficking hotlines, child advocacy centers, professional training, and legal assistance for prosecutions.
When you give to my fundraising page, your donation will go towards A21 Rescue initiatives, including things like:
- Providing translation services for 24/7 human trafficking hotlines
- Sending social workers to care for exploited children
- Investing in legal support for survivors to bring their traffickers to justice
Your funds could mean the difference between a life held in captivity and a life that is free. I invite you to join me in giving what you can, where you can. Because when we show up together, we create lasting change in the fight for freedom.
