Nearly 300 Union University students, faculty and staff members took advantage of free chair massages on May 5, thanks to the volunteer efforts of licensed massage therapists from across Tennessee.
Debbie Vann, owner of Pathways of Wellness Massage Therapy in Nashville, Tenn., organized the effort and recruited 21 licensed massage therapists to volunteer their time and travel expenses to give free 10-minute massages.
Vann said her intention was to offer stress relief to the Union community that suffered through a massive EF-4 tornado Feb. 5. The tornado destroyed about 70 percent of Union’s student housing and caused about $40 million in damage to the campus. (FULL STORY)
