Charity Car Wash Program is a car-wash coupon fundraising idea available in the Puget Sound Region of Washington State for non-profit groups interested in a go-green and environmentally responsible alternative to the traditional car wash fundraiser. Multiple car wash businesses in Seattle, Tacoma and Everett recycle and treat waste water to prevent pollution of endangered waterways. A great fund-raising idea.

A program exclusively for the Puget Sound Region of Washington State

Charity Car Washes seem like a great idea …
But parking-lot car washes can be deadly to fish and other aquatic life.

Muddy cars in winter, dusty cars in summer -- it's a year-around event, stock up for 6 months of washes.

Wastewater from charity car washes contains toxic hydro-carbons and other inorganic compounds like oils, grease, heavy metals and suspended solids which get dumped directly into local waterways and Puget Sound untreated. Even soaps labeled biodegradable, environmentally safe or low-phosphate, are not toxic-free; they are still a threat to salmon and the environment and can offer a greater threat than the substances washed off the vehilcle.

DO IT RIGHT AND EARN MORE MONEY!
Mechanical car washes on the other hand provide a valuable service by removing pollutants from wash water. They are convenient, available year-around, and because they treat and recycle water, they actually conserve this precious resource.
Now the Puget Sound Car Wash Association (PSCWA) makes it possible for non-profit groups to continue the ever-profitable and popular “car wash” fundraiser AND remain environmentally responsible. PSCWA provides your group with wash coupons, imprinted with your group’s name, redeemable for up to six months from date of printing at participating "car-friendly" wash centers throughout the Puget Sound area (see list below for locations).

EARN $5.50 PROFIT! Your cost is $2.50, suggested selling price is $7 or $8 -- That's a 68% Profit.
If 20 participants sell 24 tickets each, at a profit of $6 per ticket your group earns $2,640.00!

This program is a highly profitable solution that lets you work “smarter” not harder because -- You can raise more money since you can sell more than one ticket at a time, Rain won’t dampen your profit potential, The length of selling time is at your discretion (sell tickets all year long if you choose), and Customers will appreciate the convenience and flexibility the coupons offer.

It's easy. Allow us 3 to 5 working days to process the application, imprint and mail your tickets. A one-time $25 set-up fee is waived when payment accompanies your first order. We accept checks and VISA & MasterCard. Minimum order is 48 tickets which includes a $4.95 postage fee for priority mail. Postage fee is waived on 96 or more tickets, sold in multiples of 8 tickets per page. You may re-order tickets as needed. In addition to selling wash coupons to friends and family, you will increase sales by selling at high-traffic locations like banks, ATM sites and retail stores, but please stay at least six blocks from the actual wash site, never sell tickets on wash site property!

Safety first -- please provide adult supervision for youth and teens.

We will loan your group an attractive 2x4 ft. vinyl banner with grommets for hanging when in stock. Banner reads:

Selling Tip: Increase sales by encouraging discounts on multiple ticket purchases. We suggest offering one ticket for $8, two for $15 ($7.50 ea), four for $30 ($7.50 ea), eight for $56 ($7.00 ea) and 16 for $100 ($6.25 ea). The customer can save on multiple tickets and plan ahead for wet winters and drought summers and you earn more money. A list of participating wash centers is included on the back of each ticket. Wash center prices may vary by site, but each ticket is redeemable for one exterior wash. Tickets are not valid for large commercial vehicles, fleets or oversized vehicles.

NOTE: It is an abuse of this program to sell tickets on E-bay or for anything other than the suggested pricing of $6.00 to a maximum of $8 each. Block tickets as an auction item to one person is considered an abuse of this program.
