BIOTONE announces that it is continuing to accept applications through the end of this year for its 2008 Edu-Partner Community Outreach Award Program. BIOTONE will award two massage schools $2500 each for volunteer massage therapy programs conducted during 2008 that help individuals in their community and at the same time provide massage students with an educational experience. Only BIOTONE Edu-Partner Schools are eligible for the Award. BIOTONE will announce the award recipients in February 2009.

The BIOTONE Community Outreach Award is part of the company™s Edu-Partner initiative in which BIOTONE helps schools raise their visibility among prospective students, and schools can participate with the company in joint marketing activities. To date, some 800 schools participate in the BIOTONE Edu-Partner program.

Criteria for award consideration include impact of the program on the community, benefit to recipients and ability to meet stated goals. Award winners for 2007 included The Academy of Somatics & Massage, Oxnard, Calif., for providing chair massage to participants in the American Cancer Walk and the Blue Ridge School of Massage & Yoga, Blacksburg, Va., for responding to its community in need during the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shootings.
