Katie Castle, A private Auction for a Child Diagnosed with Brain Cancer
"When I was given the task of recruiting donations for a charity auction for a nurse anesthesia coworker whose 3 year old son was undergoing treatment for brain cancer, I knew just who to ask. I always knew that Dr. Law, his wife and Blue Water Spa were very charitable and supportive of the nursing profession. Without hesitation they donated four different spa services! As a result of the extreme generosity of Blue Water Spa and many others, we were able to raise nearly $12,000! Thank you so much for making our charity auction a huge success!"

"Blue Water Spa announces Gold Sponsorship of Bookmarked! 2011
The Lucy Daniels Center for Early Childhood is pleased to acknowledge the generous gold-level sponsorship of Blue Water Spa for Bookmarked! 2011, a children's book festival taking place in venues throughout Wake County.
Bookmarked! is an outgrowth of Lucy's Book Club, the Center's signature community outreach program, which supports healthy social and emotional growth in young children by encouraging parents to read to them books that approach important developmental themes in a safe and reassuring way.
More than 90% of families pay less than the full cost of mental health services their children receive at the Center.

WCAS sponsors summer camp scholarships to YMCA Camp Grace and community outreach programs such as Boys/Girls Scouts to give every opportunity for those with autism to experience everything just as their typical counterparts do.

Franklin County Human Society
"I would like to thank Blue Water Spa for their generous donation to the Franklin County Humane Society. We auctioned off the Gift Certificate and were able to raise a lot of money to help with the medical expense of our foster kitty Radar.
Radar is an 8 year old owner surrender that became very depressed from the change. After 2 weeks being in foster care he was diagnosed with Feline hepatic lipidosis, also known as feline fatty liver syndrome is one of the most common forms of liver disease of cats. We are thankful to say that Radar is making a great recovery and with the dedication of one of our fosters will make a full recovery. Again, thank you so much for your gift. Without businesses that care for their community and willingness to help, we could not do what we do for these precious animals."
- Allyce Johnson, FCHS
