All Seasons Pools & Spa in Orland Park Pool Together to Help Children and Teens Fighting Cancer
All Seasons Pools & Spa in Orland Park pooled together to benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. Owners Dan Lenz and Doug Mayhall along with the employees hosted a holiday toy drive that filled up a hot tub with toys, $50 in gift cards and $1,000 for children and teens fighting cancer.
Founded in 1954, All Seasons Pools & Spas’ history is one based on providing pool owners with only the best products available, supplied by industry professionals who not only know how to do their job but also care about their Orland Park and Chicagoland area customers. Employee Shannon Harris said, “It is very rewarding to help out these kids during a tough time.”
Treasure Chest Foundation CEO and Founder Colleen Kisel recognize and appreciate the dedication shown by All Seasons Pools & Spa and the employees. “I am amazed what a business like All Seasons Pools and Spas can do for a charity like ours,” said Ms. Kisel. “We are thankful for their support that will certainly provide joy to young people battling cancer.”

The POTCF is a unique organization whose services impact more than 16,100 young cancer patients in 66 cancer treatment centers in 21 states across the nation and in the District of Columbia. Nowhere else in the nation does such a program exist. Colleen Kisel founded the organization in 1996 after her then seven-year-old son Martin had been diagnosed with leukemia in 1993. Ms. Kisel discovered that giving her son a toy after each procedure provided a calming distraction from his pain, noting that when children are diagnosed with cancer their world soon becomes filled with doctors, nurses, chemotherapy drugs, surgeries and seemingly endless painful procedures. Martin celebrated his 29th anniversary of remission from the disease in March of this year.
