Non-profits raise funds with Brown Bear Charity Car Wash Program
Non-profit organizations are raising funds – and protecting the environment – through the "Brown Bear Car Wash Charity Car Wash Program"
Non-profit organizations are raising funds – and protecting the environment – through the successful “Brown Bear Car Wash Charity Car Wash Program.”
Sponsored by the Seattle-based, family-owned car wash chain, the program offers an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional car wash fundraisers where harmful run-off enters storm water systems and drains into Puget Sound or other local waters.
Brown Bear’s commitment to safeguarding the environment extends to its Lakewood location: 10913 Bridgeport Way SW (Tunnel).

Since 2007, over 100 non-profit groups in the Puget Sound area have raised more than $4 million for their organizations. Valid for use at Brown Bear tunnel locations, tickets are purchased by the organizations from Brown Bear for $1.50 each and re-sold at a suggested price of $6-$8. The organizations keep the profit.
