In February 2000, Marquis Spas® helped to make Andrea's wish for a relaxing, therapeutic spa come true. Not only did Marquis provide the hot tub for her wish, but also arranged for a gazebo to shelter the new backyard gathering place for Andrea's family and friends.

The power of Andrea's wish inspired Marquis to do more for children with life-threatening medical conditions by becoming a national partner for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of America. Through this commitment, and the "In the Spirit of a Wish" campaign, Marquis Spas serves as a preferred provider for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, helping to grant hot tub wishes for very deserving children.

Since granting Andrea's wish, more than 400 children have received a Marquis spa as their wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It's amazing the number of kids with life-threatening medical conditions who are requesting hot tubs as the wish they want granted.

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. Born in 1980 when a group of caring individuals helped a young boy fulfill his dream of becoming a police officer, the Foundation is now the largest wishgranting charity in the world, with 67 chapters in the U.S. and its territories. With the help of generous donors and nearly 25,000 volunteers, the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants more than 12,600 wishes a year and has granted more than 161,000 wishes in the U.S. since inception.
