Believe it or not, Spring is right around the corner. Are you ready to get a head start on updating your pool and patio needs?

This auction has a 27′ Freeform fiberglass pool shell and a 35′ x 15′ fiberglass pool shell, three hot tubs and tons of high end NEW patio furniture.
Thank you to everyone who donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society drive this last few months! With your help, she and her team raised over $82,000 in their quest to #CancelBloodCancer (surpassing their $75,000 goal). Every bit helped, and your donations are so appreciated! The whole group raised $398,000!
I wanted to say THANK YOU to all my friends and family that supported both myself and my team in our quest to raise money for LLS to #CancelBloodCancer. Every little bit helped!
Donations, buying tickets to events, sharing events on Facebook and just checking in on me is so appreciarted. Each one of you contributed to #MakeWavesforLLS having a spectacular campaign. And guys, we won! All of us together raised over $82,000!
There were honestly no losers in this campaign, because we all raised money for such an important cause. I was not only blown away by all of you but also by the generosity of SO many businesses in Wichita, who donated items or gift cards to our cause.
I was also very humbled throughout this 10-week period. To hear the absolutely gut-wrenching and tear inducing stories of our honored heroes (Tabitha Lehman and cute little Austyn) and the struggle they have been through in their fight against blood cancers is eye-opening. They are truly inspirational, and the strength they display on a daily basis is BEYOND.
I’ll close with this…if anyone ever asks you to be involved in a future LLS campaign in ANY way, I would encourage you to take them up on it. It unites people in the most genuine way and brings out the best in people.

Our very own Kara Weed accepted a nomination to participate in the Kansas Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2023 Visionaries of the Year campaign.
This year, community and business leaders join together with the goal of raising $500,000, while competing with one another to raise the most money in the campaign.
Her team is Make Waves for LLS, and their goal is to raise $75,000. Their pillar focus is research, specifically research that is being done to treat children utilizing CAR T-Cell Therapy. As a mom of a two-year-old, Kara says, “It really hit home the effects these cancers can have on young people and the need for treatment designed specifically for children.”
She is posting links on her Facebook page about upcoming events, including Bitchy Bingo on April 15, Dueling Pianos on May 5, and a Hot Tub Giveaway ($19,000 value). (Ultra Modern Pool & Patio and Hot Spring Spa are donating a hot tub.).
