Team Fundraisers
Quality Car Wash Fundraiser
Usually, when one thinks about car wash fundraisers, they picture students washing cars by hand in a parking lot. We have revamped the traditional car wash method and have create a very successful fundraiser, and we don’t have to wash a single car! Quality Car Wash in Holland allows our students to host a yearly car wash at their automated car wash. For every car wash bought at their location that day, Quality Car Wash donates 40% of their entire car washes back to our team. The requirement from them are that students are on site advertising the event and that we promote the event. Since Tommy Car Wash System is one of our team sponsors, owners of Quality Car Wash, Students can earn tips for pumping gas for patrons. The team is also able to host a bake sale on site. Between the car washes sold, tips earned and baked goods sold, the team easily makes about $2,000 each time they host the car wash.

We are so thankful for the Team at the Holland Buffalo Wild Wings! We appreciate being able to host two fundraisers at their location and appreciate their annual lunch donation! Nothing better than trays full of wings at the Build Site!

Pop Can Drive
One of our favorite fundraisers is our Team Pop Can Drive. The team will select a local neighborhood and students will go door-to-door asking for 10 cent returnable cans and bottles. Mentors drive around the neighborhoods to haul the cans that students collect. Can collecting usually lasts two hours. When collecting is complete, the whole team swarms the local can returns to return all they have collected. Returning cans usually take an hour and after all are returned, the team usually makes about $300. Throughout the summer and fall months, we try to do one pop can collection per month. If we do one per month, the money raised adds up very quickly for the team. Along with raising money for the team, going door-to-door is also a great way to tell those in our community about our team and FIRST.
