Master Spas, one of the leading manufacturers of premium hot tubs and swim spas, has made a remarkable impact this year through its Summer of St. Jude campaign, raising an impressive sum of $310,000. This achievement not only surpassed the initial goal of $250,000 but demonstrated the commitment of Master Spas to support a worthy cause.
The Campaign Details
The three-month initiative, which ran from July to September, culminated in Master Spas' annual Global Sales Event. During this period, dealers nationwide initiated various local fundraising efforts, all converging to support the mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in conjunction with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This collective effort highlights how communities can come together to make a significant difference.
A Shared Commitment
Kevin Richards, the President of Master Spas, expressed pride in the achievements of both dealers and employees. He stated, "At Master Spas, our mission is to help people live life better. We're incredibly proud of what our dealers and employees accomplished together. The Summer of St. Jude campaign was a reflection of our shared values and commitment to giving back." This sentiment embodies the spirit of community and compassion that drives the company's philanthropic efforts.
The Essence of St. Jude's Mission
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital operates with a powerful mission: to ensure that no family ever receives a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to concentrate solely on their child's recovery. Since establishing its doors in 1962, St. Jude has played a crucial role in increasing the overall survival rate from childhood cancer, achieving remarkable results—up from a mere 20 percent to over 80 percent. This crucial work continues, with the hospital striving for global solutions to childhood cancer.
Community Impact and Recognition
The fundraising success of Master Spas has drawn praise from various stakeholders, including Steve Froehlich, the Chief Revenue Officer of ALSAC—that supports fundraising for St. Jude. Froehlich remarked, "This remarkable fundraising milestone by Master Spas to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is truly inspiring. Because of generous donations from partners like Master Spas, St. Jude can continue to provide world-class care to children facing cancer and other life-threatening diseases, regardless of their family's ability to pay."
