Making a Wave of Difference: Tidal Wave Auto Spa's 17th Annual Charity Day Raises $864,075

This year’s Charity Day was our biggest yet! On September 19th, guests across 295 Tidal Wave Auto Spa locations came together to help raise a record-breaking $864,075 for 268 local charities and non-profits. That means more clean cars, big smiles, and brighter futures in the communities we call home. With this year’s total, Tidal Wave has now donated more than $2.8 million through Charity Day since it all began 17 years ago!

Each participating Tidal Wave location chose a local organization to receive half of their proceeds (plus on-site donations), while the other half supported Annandale Village, our longtime partner helping adults with developmental disabilities live more independent, fulfilling lives. Every wash, every dollar, and every smile truly made a difference.

As our founder and CEO, Scott Blackstock, says: “Each year, Charity Day reminds us how powerful our communities are when they come together for a good cause.” We couldn’t agree more. Thank you to everyone who washed with us, donated, and helped spread kindness. Together, we’re proving that clean cars can do more than shine—they can change lives.
