Carstar To Hold Car Wash In Manassas Park For Cystic Fibrosis

MANASSAS PARK, VA — Carstar Manassas Collision is raising funds and awareness on Saturday, Sept. 26 with a charity car wash in Manassas Park for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Proceeds from the Soaps It Up event will go to the local Cystic Fibrosis Foundation chapter as well as Manassas Park City Schools.

“We want to see folks get back on the road and getting back to their lives, and we want to be sure their car looks good when they do so,” Darah Scott, manager of Carstar Manassas Collision, said Thursday in a statement. “It’s our first year hosting this Soaps It Up car wash, and it’s a great way to give back to our community as well as a deserving charity.”

Carstar Manassas Collision is located at 9114 Owens Drive in Manassas Park.

Every year, Carstar locations across North America celebrate Shine Month, a time used to fundraise for the company's charitable cause, cystic fibrosis. Stores host a variety of events at their facilities to help raise money, while also participating in other local initiatives.

Carstar began fundraising for cystic fibrosis in Canada more than 20 years ago, when a franchise partner’s granddaughter received a cystic fibrosis diagnosis. Since then, Carstar has raised more than $4 million for Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in the U.S.

Along with participating in the car wash, the public can donate directly on the Carstar website to help support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Carstar has more than 700 collision repair facilities in 35 states and 10 Canadian provinces.
