All Seasons Pools and Spas Give to Children and Teens Fighting Cancer

When we think of pools, we normally think of sun, relaxation and fun but All Seasons Pools and Spa plunged into the water to help the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (POTCF) by raising $1,005. During the month of July, for every purchase of Algimycin, a product to control algae, All Seasons Pools and Spas donated $5.00 to children and teens served by the Treasure Chest Foundation.

All Seasons Pools & Spas in Orland Park, IL is dedicated to providing superior customer service, education, and support. All Seasons is nationally recognized by Pool and Spa News as one of the top 50 Builders in the country, the Top 50 Service Companies in the country and has been recognized by Aqua Magazine as one of the Top 100 Retail Stores in the country.

All Seasons Account Manager LeeAnn Hettlinger talked about the company’s motivation to help the Foundation. “The Treasure Chest Foundation is the best. Helping out kids fighting cancer and brightening their lives is a wonderful thing.”

Treasure Chest Foundation CEO and Founder Colleen Kisel recognizes and appreciates the dedication shown by All Seasons Pool and Spas, “I am amazed what a business can do for a charity like ours,” said Ms. Kisel. “All Seasons had a wonderful idea that raised $1,005. 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 15,700 young cancer patients in 65 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.
