Anchorage veteran surprised with hot tub over Memorial Day weekend
As we remember those who lost their lives while serving in the military this Memorial Day, one Anchorage-area business is giving back to a veteran who also made sacrifices for his country.
Marine Corps veteran Angelo Maddaloni is getting the chance to not only relax but continue healing some of his battle wounds with a new hot tub from Arctic Home Living.
It’s part of a partnership between the hot tub supplier and Wish For Our Heroes, a national nonprofit that provides resources to active-duty military members and veterans.
Sundance Spas challenged all of their dealers nationwide to sell 100 hot tubs; if they did, the company would give a free spa to a veteran in the area. After meeting the goal, Arctic Home Living went to work finding the right person who would benefit from the gift.
General manager Terry Donovan said they looked at several candidates and found the retired Marine a perfect fit. He said he couldn't be prouder of his team for making the giveaway happen.
"To be able to give back to the community, especially in Alaska, with so many veterans and active-duty it means the world to us," Donovan said. "We are so happy to do this to change their life and give them something that's going to benefit them for years physically and mentally."
