Get your car cleaned for a cause. The annual Wash For A Wish charity car wash is set for this Saturday at over 100 Krown locations, including Kemptville. The event runs from 10:00am to 2:00pm.
Local franchise owner Craig Gerlach says 100% of the proceeds go to the Children’s Wish Foundation. He says the event is volunteer driven and Krown provides the supplies and facility.
Last year’s car wash brought in around $1,500 locally and $85,000 company-wide.
Gerlach says it’s important to support charities like Children’s Wish. He noted a lot of kids fall through the cracks and the organization makes sure they get the attention they deserve.
Krown Kemptville is located on Van Buren Street. The cost is $10 for a car wash.
The Children’s Wish Foundation grants wishes to kids aged 3 to 17 who are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The organization has helped over 25,000 children in the past 30 years. For more information about Children’s Wish, click here.
