In July 2004, Marquis Spas helped to make Rebecca's wish for a relaxing, therapeutic spa come true.
In the spirit of a wish
Since September 2000 Marquis Spas have tried to do more for children with life-threatening illnesses by becoming a national sponsor for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America. Through this commitment and the "In the Spirit of a Wish" campaign Marquis Spas will generate more than $1 million for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Since granting the first wish, more than 120 children have received a Marquis spa as their wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It's amazing the number of children who are requesting hot tubs as the wish they want granted — such as Rebecca, a child whose spa wish was granted with the help of her local Marquis dealer. In the UK, Marquis spas are working closely with the foundation to grant the wishes of children suffering with life-threatening medical conditions.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. With 77 chapters in the United States and its territories and 27 international affiliates spanning five continents it is the largest wish-granting charity in the world.
