Making a Difference: Winter 2025 Community Impact Roundup (Preview)
Each year, car wash organizations contribute countless hours and dollars to the communities they serve. We share some of these good deeds in every issue of CAR WASH Magazine.
Clean Express Auto Wash
As part of its fourth annual CLE Inspires Week, Clean Express Auto Wash donated $28,450 to Cleveland Guardians Charities. The donation was raised Aug. 22-24, when Clean Express offered a special “Guardians Shine + Ceramic” wash for $15. For every wash purchased, $10 was donated directly to Cleveland Guardians Charities, and customers were entered to win exclusive prizes from both Clean Express and the Cleveland Guardians.
“From the beginning, we’ve believed our responsibility goes far beyond clean cars,” said John Roush, founder and CEO of Express Wash Concepts, the parent company of Clean Express. “Through our EWC Cares program, we’re committed to strengthening the communities where we live and work. Partnering with organizations like Cleveland Guardians Charities allows us to give back in meaningful ways — whether that’s supporting programs for underserved youth, strengthening families, or enhancing local neighborhoods. We’re proud to invest in the people and causes that make our communities stronger.”
Through the EWC Cares program, EWC donates hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to local nonprofits and community initiatives across the regions it serves. EWC operates 123 locations across six states under the following brands: Moo Moo Express Car Wash, Flying Ace Express Car Wash, Clean Express Auto Wash, Green Clean Express Auto Wash and Bee Clean Express Car Wash.
Crew Carwash
Crew Carwash, an Indiana-based family business, partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters each summer for its annual Crew for Kids event. For its Crew for Kids 2025 fundraiser, Crew donated 50% of all proceeds from the Ultimate Wash, including both in-store and online sales, directly to Big Brothers Big Sisters. A total of $215,793 was raised across 54 Crew locations in Indiana and Minnesota.
