CARSTAR locations from across North America host Soaps It Up car washes to fundraise for cystic fibrosis research, care and advocacy. Join CARSTAR Chatham Imperial, Saturday, June 15 from 9am-Noon in their charity car wash, BBQ and fun for the whole family!

A donation of $5 gets your car washed, with proceeds going to Cystic Fibrosis Canada. CARSTAR’s support of the cause started twenty years ago when a franchise partners granddaughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. The CARSTAR franchise family came together to rally and raise money to fight the disease, and has only accelerated its fundraising efforts since. In total, CARSTAR has raised over $3.7MM for cystic fibrosis related charities and initiatives.
