NEW ORLEANS (Press Release) – Stretch Zone, the company that brought practitioner-assisted stretching to the public and introduced a new vertical in the health and wellness industry, in partnership with the Brees Dream Foundation, recently presented a $20,000 donation to Kids Join the Fight, a nonprofit organization that seeks to empower children to raise funds to provide care for other children fighting pediatric cancer. Stretch Zone’s $10,000 portion of the donation, made through Stretch Zone’s philanthropic arm, GIVZone, is a part of the company’s commitment to supporting the communities Stretch Zone’s growing network of franchise owners and clients call home. Stretch Zone currently has four locations in Louisiana, including a recently opened Baton Rouge studio owned by multi-unit owner Drew Brees.
“Philanthropy is core to the Stretch Zone business model and mission. As a company, we are providing a service that helps build healthy communities.
