SEE + BE SEEN A VICTORY FOR KIDS. A team of spa industry athletes recently joined forces to complete the Subaru Ironman 70.3 in Victoria, Canada, to raise money for the Éminence Kids Foundation. Participants included American Spa Magazine’s Monica Helmstetter; David Erlich, corporate director of spa, fitness and tennis at Sandals Resorts International; Epicuren Discovery’s Jessica Santora; Zeel’s Clint Wall, Breanne DesLauriers, Jarrod Muenter, Katy Muenter, Jim Bradley and Katie Rattray; Gordon Turnbull from Eminence Organic Skin Care; Phil Sconzert from Fitness on Demand; and Danny Chang, Michael Matthews, and Scott Michaelis from Live Love Spa. The group’s US$10,000 goal was reached on the day of the event, and the proceeds will be used to open a brand-new Éminence Kids Foundation outpost in Charleston, South Carolina. TOP GUNS. The annual iConnection Yacht Party entered the Danger Zone with a packed house and plenty of epic Top Gun-inspired attire on Thursday, June 29. One lucky spa attendee won a free full conference registration for the 2017 ISPA Conference & Expo.
