Just like ice cream cones and lemonade stands, swimming pools are another great way to beat the summer heat. For Wish Kid Marcus, getting in the water is not only fun and refreshing, but it also gives him a feeling of freedom like no other.

Installing a pool is no small task, but with the coordination and of several local companies, it all came together to produce a stunning result. Marcus has always been a cool kid, but now, he’s a lot cooler. And there’s no doubt he and his family will get years of enjoyment out of the crystal-clear oasis right in their backyard.

Special thanks to Avalon Pools and Spas, Green Mountain Electric Supply, Alex Wood, and all our donors and supporters for making Marcus’s wish come true.
