MATTHEWS, North Carolina (May 17, 2010) – Muscle Team® 2010 is a high profile social event to raise awareness and funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The May 20, 2010 event gathers top athletes and coaches and pairs them with a MDA buddy; a child living with neuromuscular disease. Synergy Salon, in Matthews, once again joins in the efforts to support the event in the hopes of raising enough funds to send a child to MDA summer camp.

The camp offers a wide range of activities especially designed for children who have limited mobility. “It costs about $800 to send a child to camp,” Synergy Salon Owner, Ngoc-Quy Nguyen explained, “ and helping to raise money to help send kids suffering from the disease to camp is the primary reason we support the efforts of the MDA Muscle Team 2010 event.” Synergy Salon donated gift certificates worth $10,000 in services to help raise funds at the event.

Synergy Salon (www.snrgsalon.com) is located at 2325-A Matthews Township Parkway in Matthews, NC. The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a dedicated partnership of scientists and citizens aimed at finding effective treatments and cures for over 40 neuromuscular diseases. MDA is one of the world’s leading national health agencies, fostering research and patient care.

MDA provides HELP and HOPE to the families served through a program of comprehensive health care services and research for a cure.
