Many non-profit groups, especially those with lots of labor and high-energy available have found much success in their fundraiser events by holding car washes.
On any given weekend in the United States we see these car wash fundraiser events around town, well as long as the weather is good that is.
Car Wash fundraisers can build teamwork and teach kids groups that money does not grow on trees and that is wise lesson indeed.
Now that you have decided to hold a car wash you need to pick a good location.
But what is the difference between a good location and a not so good location? Well, a good location is one with lots of space to move the cars and on a very busy street with great visibility.
A bad location would be a very tight parking lot where cars cannot line up or have to back up after each wash is completed.
If you are going to have a successful car wash fundraiser you will need to be sure to have a location where you can have two lines of five cars each all day waiting for the wash.
You need to have space to wash and soap and then the cars dry up to rinse.
Then you need a drying area up a little further so you do not back up your production lines.
I hope you will consider all this in 2006.
