Spavia’s national team held a give-back program encouraging locations to donate a percentage of proceeds to local charities from the sales of two treatments, followed by a corporate match.
Spavia locations hosted fundraisers across a broad spectrum of categories to donate to organizations that support community development, education, health, animal welfare and civil rights.
Spavia Maple Grove in Minnesota had the highest donation among the locations. The day spa donated to Maria's Voice, a local nonprofit that was formed to honor the life of Maria Pew, a victim of fatal domestic violence in April 2020.
Cristina Nolte, owner of Spavia Maple Grove, says, "Thinking back to when I first heard of Maria's story in the height of the pandemic, how eye-opening it was that this happened in our own backyard here in Maple Grove. I started following Maria's Voice. I learned the sad truth that this is much more prevalent in our society than I could have ever imagined.”
Allison Langenderfer, founder of Spavia, says, "Making a positive difference in our communities is vitally important to making change. It starts in our community; it starts with us. There is nothing better than to be a part of doing good for others. It is so beautiful to see such dedicated owners and teams supporting their communities.”
