CHARLOTTE, NC — Autobell® Car Wash and its customers contributed $10,000 to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund via a recent two-week fundraiser that donated $1 from every wash purchased through the Autobell App during that time.

Complementing the fundraiser, Autobell hosted a blood drive at one of its Charlotte locations. The drive collected 15 units of blood, enough to save up to 45 people amid the nation’s ongoing severe blood supply shortage.

Blood donors received a $20 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice courtesy of the American Red Cross, as well as a complimentary Full Service wash ticket from Autobell.

“We appreciate our customers stepping up to assist the American Red Cross and the many beneficiaries of its assistance,” said Carl Howard, President and COO of Autobell Car Wash. “We will continue to proudly support the Red Cross in their mission of help and hope, as we have for more than two decades.”
