CARSTAR Collision Centres across North America broke their 2009 Guinness World Record on June 11, 2011 for “World’s Largest Car Wash – Multiple Venues.”
More than 140 events throughout Canada and the United States supported CARSTAR’s Soaps It Up National Car Wash Fundraiser. At least 1,000 employees and volunteers participating in the event washed 4,918 cars, breaking the previous record of 4,105.
“This year we are happy to report that, with the tremendous support of our franchise, insurance and vendor partners, and with the dedication of each community, we are donating more than $105,000 to Cystic Fibrosis Canada and local fundraising groups,” said Sam Mercanti, president and CEO of CARSTAR Automotive Canada.
“Participating in the Guinness World Record has once again helped both CARSTAR U.S. and CARSTAR Canada to raise more funds and awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America and for Cystic Fibrosis Canada.”
For the past eight years, Canadian CARSTAR Collision Centres have been participating in the Soaps It Up fundraiser. With the funds raised from this event, CARSTAR’s total funds raised for the fight against Cystic Fibrosis is now more than $1.9 million.
