BULLFROG INTERNATIONAL & POWER POOL CARE DONATE SPA TO
6-YEAR-OLD LIAM McGLONE FOR PRESCRIBED HYDROTHERAPY
Treatment of Exclusive Bullfrog JetPak™ System
Salt Lake City & Long Island, NY – April 17, 2006 – Bullfrog International, LC, a leading manufacturer of high-quality portable spas powered by JetPak™ technology, and Power Pool Care, Inc., a St. James, New York dealer of Bullfrog Spas, today announced that the companies recently donated a $5,000 251 model Bullfrog Spa to 6-year-old Liam McGlone of Long Island, New York.
Liam McGlone was diagnosed two years ago with Juvenile Spondyloarthropathy, a form of arthritis that has attacked his spine and tendons throughout his body. Liam’s parents, Billy and Krista McGlone, were told by their doctor that a spa would help alleviate Liam’s painful condition.
Considering Liam’s continuous medical bills and the cost of a spa, not covered by insurance, friends and family of the McGlones recently participated in a fundraising event. A friend and former co-worker of Billy McGlone, Caroline Ambrosio, organized the fundraiser held at Elijah Churchhills Public House, a European-style pub and restaurant in Ft. Salonga, New York.
After not receiving interested responses from other spa dealers in the Long Island area, Ambrosio contacted Bullfrog International headquarters in Salt Lake City. Bullfrog officials then directed her to their local dealer, Frank Collora, president of Power Pool Care.
“When we heard of Liam’s condition and his parents’ situation, there was no question we wanted to help them,” said David Ludlow, CEO of Bullfrog International. “We couldn’t have done this good deed without the willingness and generosity of Frank and Donna Collora of Power Pool Care. We and the Colloras are very happy to have helped Liam McGlone, his parents and two siblings receive the hydrotherapy and comfort they need.”
During the fundraiser, Collora and his wife Donna presented Billy and Krista McGlone with a certificate for a free Bullfrog Spa that will not only benefit Liam, but his entire family.
"Every once in a while, you are faced with a unique opportunity where your talents or abilities are able to provide immense good,” said Collora. “In this case we had an ill child in our community who needed a spa for therapy. It was an easy decision to make."
The Bullfrog Spa model 251 was selected to accommodate all five members of the McGlone family with five spa seats, including two seats with JetPaks. Bullfrog’s JetPaks are interchangeable and removable spa seats outfitted with individual jetting designs.
