Hoffman Car Wash Partners with Breakthrough T1D to Help Find a Cure

Hoffman Car Wash is proud to once again partner with Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF, to support research aimed at curing Type 1 Diabetes. From March 1st – 10th, 2026, 100 percent of every $5 Carbonite, Ceramic, and Vision Clear upgrade purchased at any Hoffman Car Wash Exterior or Full Service location will be donated directly to Breakthrough T1D.

These premium upgrades deliver more than just shine. Carbonite and Ceramic treatments use advanced graphene and ceramic protection to shield your vehicle from dirt, debris, UV rays, and water spots while enhancing durability and gloss. Vision Clear improves windshield visibility by repelling rain, sleet, and snow, helping drivers stay safer in unpredictable weather.

Breakthrough T1D is the leading global organization funding Type 1 Diabetes research. Its mission is to accelerate breakthroughs that cure, prevent, and treat T1D and its complications while improving lives today and tomorrow.

“Breakthrough T1D is deeply grateful to Hoffman Car Wash for stepping up and turning an easy upgrade into meaningful impact for our type 1 diabetes (T1D) community,” said Danielle Slater, Breakthrough T1D’s Upstate New York Market Director. “Every upgrade fuels research, advances treatments, and brings us closer to a world without T1D. It is this kind of local leadership that truly moves progress forward and reminds us how powerful our community can be when local businesses lead with generosity and kindness.”

Type 1 Diabetes can strike children and adults suddenly. It is not caused by diet or lifestyle, and there is currently no cure. Individuals with T1D require constant monitoring and lifelong insulin therapy to manage the disease.

“As someone who has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for over 40 years, I understand the daily challenges it brings, not only for those diagnosed but for their families as well,” said Tom Hoffman Jr., CEO of Hoffman Car Wash. “Every donation moves us closer to better treatments and ultimately a cure. We are proud to stand with our customers and our community in this effort.”

The event is part of Hoffman Car Wash’s “Practice Kindness” initiative, which spreads positivity and goodwill in the communities it serves. By practicing kindness, Hoffman Car Wash hopes to make a positive impact and inspire others to do the same. Hoffman Car Wash has a long-standing relationship with Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless (IPH), Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), the Saratoga Senior Center, Ronald McDonald House, and Kelly’s Angels.

Hoffman Car Wash also supports many non-profits and youth organizations through its Helping Hands Fundraising program.
