 
Take Me Out to the Ballgame Massage Therapy Foundation had an amazing turnout at the baseball fundraiser at Nationals Park. Over 380 tickets were sold!
The weather was great and brought out a wonderful group of convention attendees from around the country. Representatives from MTF and ballgame fundraiser sponsors made an appearance down on the field before first pitch. Later, an MTF guest caught a foul ball!

Questions?
Writing A Case Report: You CAN Do It! Writing a case report is one of the simplest and most effective ways to become actively involved in massage therapy research. By taking the valuable insights you have gained by working with a client and sharing that knowledge, you enable others to work more effectively with clients who have similar needs.
