Planet Fitness Supports Breast Cancer Research

Thanks to a special Mother’s Day promotion, Planet Fitness recently donated $213,176 for breast cancer research.  For every new member who signed up between May 3 and May 10 at participating locations, a $10 donation was made to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.

A total of 118 clubs in nine markets participated nationwide, and Anson-Stoner helped lead the successful initiative that resulted in more than 21,000 new members.  Passionate about giving back to the community, Planet Fitness and the agency are looking forward to working with the Foundation again.
