Master Spas Transforms Lives with Generosity
Master Spas, a renowned manufacturer based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, recently achieved an extraordinary milestone in its charitable efforts. The company's
Summer of St. Jude campaign has successfully raised
over $310,000 for the
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, surpassing its initial goal of $250,000. This campaign, which ran from July to September, aligned with the
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and coincided with the company's annual Global Sales Event.
Throughout this three-month initiative, participating dealers across the United States engaged with local communities to generate donations. Their dedication and creativity in fundraising efforts showcased a collective commitment to supporting the fight against childhood cancer. Kevin Richards, President of Master Spas, expressed immense pride in the collective achievements of the dealers and employees, stating, "Our mission is to help people live life better. We’re incredibly proud of what our dealers and employees accomplished together."
The success of the campaign is not merely a testament to fundraising capabilities but reflects the deep-seated values and philanthropic spirit inherent in the Master Spas community. The initiative is part of a broader commitment known as
Master Spas Cares, designed to support nonprofit organizations and community-focused programs. Through endeavors like this, Master Spas aims to provide crucial support to families facing the challenges of pediatric cancer.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has a mission centered on treating children battling severe health issues while eliminating the financial burden families often face during treatment. Families are never billed for treatment, travel, housing, or food—ensuring they can focus solely on the well-being of their children. Since its inception in 1962, St. Jude has significantly improved the childhood cancer survival rate from an alarming
20% to over 80%, with a vision to eradicate childhood cancer on a global scale.
Steve Froehlich, Chief Revenue Officer of ALSAC—the fundraising organization for St. Jude—commented on the impact of donations like those collected by Master Spas. He noted, "This remarkable fundraising milestone 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 here in the U.S. and around the world, regardless of their family's ability to pay."
The collaborative spirit seen during the Summer of St. Jude campaign emphasizes how local dealers, employees, and communities can unite for a common purpose. By rallying together, they have not only raised funds but also heightened awareness about childhood cancer, creating a ripple effect of support and advocacy.
Looking ahead, Master Spas remains committed to its charitable initiatives through Master Spas Cares, pushing for growth in its community outreach and support for vital causes. As they continue this journey, the company aims to expand its impact further and inspire others within and outside the industry to engage in philanthropic endeavors.
