The National Holistic Institute will donate all proceeds from massages given Thursday at their Emeryville and San Francisco campuses to a Haiti relief fund.
The institute is a training school for massage therapists. The cost for a 50-minute massage is $35.
Massages will be given in Emeryville at 6:15 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. Thursday. Massages will be given in San Francisco at 1:30 p.m. 2:45 p.m. and 4 p.m. Thursday. Appointments may be booked online at www.nhi.edu.
The money raised will go to USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development. The agency's Web site is www.usaid.gov.
Students, graduates, administrators and teachers are all donating their time and skills to help raise money for Haiti after the massive earthquakes earlier this month, said institute President Tim Veitzer.
On Saturday, the institute's San Jose campus raised $1,200 for Haiti earthquake relief after a similar fundraiser.
In response to the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, the institute began the Massage Emergency Response Team that is used nationally to organize volunteer massage therapy on rescue and recovery workers at disaster sites, Veitzer said.
