Flying Horse Farms in Ohio was the recipient of $52,973 in donations, thanks to the generosity and fundraising efforts of Express Wash Concepts. Monetary donations were collected at all Moo Moo Express, Flying Ace Express, Clean Express Auto Wash and Meyers Auto Wash locations May 14-16.

Throughout the Flying Horse Farms campaign, the four Express Wash Concepts’ brands offered a free signature car wash ($15-$18 value) to customers in exchange for a $5 monetary donation. One hundred percent of proceeds benefited Flying Horse Farms. At the campaign’s conclusion, Express Wash Concepts gave away more than 10,500 free car washes, totaling more than $180,000 at full retail value.

“Our customer’s generosity is positively overwhelming as we continue to break donation records with each campaign,” said John Roush, Express Wash Concepts Chief Executive Officer.

Roush explained a contributing factor for the campaign’s success was bringing EWC site managers and the home office team to Flying Horse Farms for a company leadership retreat prior to the donation weekend.

“We had the opportunity to bring our site managers onsite to Flying Horse Farms a few days prior to our campaign start, and I believe that by experiencing firsthand what children get to experience at camp, our site managers were able to evangelize Flying Horse Farms’ mission so much more effectively to our team members and customers.”

Flying Horse Farms is a medical specialty camp that provides healing, transformative experiences for children with serious illnesses and their families – free of charge. Located in Mt. Gilead, Ohio, the camp first opened its gates in 2010 and hosts about 900 children and families each year.

EWC currently operates 44 express car washes and, to date in 2021, has donated more than $200,000 to local non-profit organizations through donation campaigns and community sponsorships.
