As of May 10th 2007 SWVMTA has concluded its emergency response on the campus of Virginia Tech.

I would like to thank everyone who helped to get the word out to the campus community about the massages on campus.  Although no official record was kept it is estimated that the Massage Therapists who responded to the SWVMTA call for assistance performed between 600-800 massages on campus.  All free of charge.  We visited nearly 15 buildings around campus.  Nearly 50 massages therapists volunteered their time and services (approx. $9,000-$12,000).  Some of them came as far away as South Carolina and California .   This does not even count the other people on campus that did not coordinate through our organization.
