Moo Moo Express Car Wash held a fundraiser, donating $8,003.70 to Westerville’s Neighborhood Bridges to help further its mission of bridging the Westerville community with area schools to provide basic needs, remove barriers and seek equity for students so they can engage and succeed in school and life. The donations were collected from Moo Moo Express customers at the company’s Westerville North Grand Opening/Free Wash Week held January 29-February 7 at the 74 Polaris Parkway Westerville, Ohio location — its 19th location.
During the Grand Opening, Moo Moo Express offered a free signature “Crème De La Crème VIP” car wash ($18 value) to every customer in exchange for a monetary donation to Neighborhood Bridges. Moo Moo Express also offered discounted retail gift cards with all proceeds donated back to Neighborhood Bridges. Throughout the Grand Opening period, Moo Moo Express gave away more than 2,500 free car washes at a retail value of more than $45,000.
“Neighborhood Bridges serves as a vital link between local school children in need and the Westerville community,” said John Roush, Moo Moo Express Car Wash Founder and Express Wash Concepts CEO. “We are grateful that our customers supported our Grand Opening and were so generous with monetary donations back to Neighborhood Bridges. This money will be used to provide a ‘Personal Care’ pantry for children who need access to basic personal care items, in addition to setting up a donated clothing exchange.”
