Planet Fitness Franchise Groups Raise Over $36,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
CAMP HILL, Pa., Aug. 05, 2024 – 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.
