Planet Fitness Franchise Groups Raise Over $36,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
05 Agosto 2024 - 1:05PM
Today, several leading Planet Fitness franchise groups, including
National Fitness Partners (NFP), Taymax, TGE3 and Davis-NEOFitness,
announced that their month-long campaign to benefit St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital raised more than $36,000 to help kids
battling cancer. This is the first year that Planet Fitness
franchise groups have raised funds to support St. Jude.
During the June campaign, these franchise groups encouraged
their members to donate to St. Jude at their 300+ Planet Fitness
locations through donations at the register or by using a QR code.
In addition, NFP encouraged club members to participate in the
campaign by tracking their mileage on designated treadmills at each
of their locations, which raised nearly $10,000.
“National Fitness Partners is committed to helping the next
generation lead healthier lives, and we’re grateful for the support
of Taymax, TGE3 and Davis-NEOFitness,” said Stephen Kindler, Jr.,
President and CEO of National Fitness Partners. “St. Jude provides
expert medical care for their patients and continues to make
research discoveries that will lead to better cancer treatments. We
are proud to support this lifesaving work to help kids in our
communities.”
St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and
defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Their
researchers and doctors work together to turn laboratory
breakthroughs into lifesaving treatments for children from across
the United States and around the world. St. Jude freely shares
their scientific discoveries, and families never receive a bill
from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
