Marquis Celebrates 25 Years of Make-A-Wish Partnership

Published

LAS VEGAS, NV — December 3, 2025 — Marquis® Spas, a leader in luxury hot tubs and swim spas, is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its partnership with Make-A-Wish®, a milestone that has transformed the lives of more than 1,250 children through the gift of hydrotherapy. Providing ongoing relief for symptoms attributable to many childhood illnesses and conditions.

The journey began in 2000, when Marquis granted its first wish for Andrea, a 15-year-old leukemia survivor. Today, Andrea is cancer-free and raising a family of her own. Her story illustrates the ongoing power of a hot tub to provide more than relaxation. It inspires healing, resilience, and family joy.

“For 25 years, our dealers have been at the heart of this program,” said Melinda Herber, Customer Experience Manager at Marquis, who manages program logistics. “Every wish is more than a hot tub delivery—it’s a beacon of renewed hope. This is about showing up for families when it matters most, and it’s part of what makes the Marquis retail network so special.”

While not the only hot tub manufacturer to partner with Make-A-Wish, the Marquis program stands out as a model for sustained commitment. Marquis dealers often develop long-term connections with wish families and fellow volunteers, while also benefiting from positive recognition and shared pride in making wishes come true.

As Marquis reflects on this 25-year legacy, the company continues to prioritize loyal partnerships, especially with retailers who share its values. “Joining the Marquis network means more than selling premium spas,” said Todd Shannon, Chief Revenue Officer. “It means being part of a brand that delivers lasting enjoyment, builds community trust, and demonstrates leadership through action.”

Josh Cowley, CEO of parent company May Manufacturing, is equally committed. “We believe that every wish granted reflects the heart of our company and our dealer network,” said Cowley. “We’re excited to continue this legacy and invite retailers who share our values to join Marquis in making an even broader impact in the years ahead.”

Marquis® has been manufacturing premium hot tubs and swim spas since 1980. With a commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and community, Marquis partners with retailers across the globe to deliver wellness, relaxation, and joy. A subsidiary of May Manufacturing and proudly made in Las Vegas, NV.
