Spa and Salon Gregories to host Massage-a-thon and Cut-a-thon to support Komen Foundation and Race for the CureŽ

Drastically discounted services offered to benefit fight against breast cancer

NEWPORT BEACH, California - August 31, 2000 - Spa and Salon Gregories are getting "hands on" in the fight against breast cancer by hosting the second annual Massage-a-thon and Cut-a-thon for the Cure. The "Thons" will be held Sunday, September 24, 2000 at the Ninth Annual Komen Orange County Race for the Cure as well as at the Salon and Spa at 200 Newport Center Drive in Fashion Island. At the race, the Massage-a-thon pavilion will be located at the start/finish line in front of the Pacific Life building at 700 Newport Center Drive. Salon and Spa Gregories hope to raise over $10,000 for The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in order to further their efforts in breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.

Stylists and therapists at the Salon and Spa will be on hand to provide services for racers and non racers alike at discounted prices. Haircuts, customarily $50+, will be offered at $25 per cut, and massages, regularly $75 per hour, will be $1 per minute at the race. All services include a free gift of health and beauty products for the client. Reservations for haircuts are recommended and may be made by calling (949) 644-6671.

Breast cancer is a harsh reality to Spa Gregories' principal, Angela Cortright, which has motivated her to pledge time, effort, and money to The Komen Foundation Race for the Cure. Cortright's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago and has undergone extensive treatment in combating the disease. In addition, her young cousin and an aunt both succumbed to breast cancer.

"Everywhere I look, it seems someone is being touched by breast cancer in some way. I've lost 2 family members to breast cancer and my own mother is a 4 year survivor. This is one cause I am very passionate about."

Spa and Salon Gregories are located at 200 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660, in between Big Edwards Cinemas and Muldoon's Irish Pub. Spa hours are 9am- 9pm Tuesdays through Sundays, and 11am - 9pm on Mondays. Spa Gregories' website is www.spagregories.com.
