The Spa and Sauna Company recently helped the Make-A-Wish Nevada chapter fulfill a Pool Table wish for a 16-year-old boy named Samuel.
Samuel, who lives in Northern Nevada, is in remission from cancer.
His wish to have a pool table was inspired by some of his favorite memories of playing pool with his grandpa and siblings.
“I love it,” he said, about his new pool table. “I hope to be playing it for as long as possible.”
Pool Table Donation Day
The Spa and Sauna Co. delivered and set up the 8-foot Brunswick Oakland Pool Table in Rustic Gray with blue cloth, and donated an upgraded pool table play kit and vinyl table cover. The pool table delivery took place while he was off at school so it could be a big surprise and birthday celebration later that day.
Dozens of people attended the celebration for Samuel’s 16th birthday and to make his Wish come true, including:
Friends and Family
Make-A-Wish Nevada
Renown Hospital
The Spa and Sauna Co.
The Make-A-Wish Nevada team brought balloons and handmade posters featuring Samuel’s favorite things were hung in his new game room. Before the big reveal, everyone gathered with confetti for the surprise.
This Wish is one of 40 that has been granted in Northern Nevada this year, said Shannon Bonetti, a member of the Make-A-Wish Northern Nevada Regional Committee. More than 200 Wishes for Nevada children are in the pipeline.
