Making a Wave of Difference: On September 18, 2026 319 Tidal Wave Locations Nationwide Will Unite for Charity Day
319 Tidal Wave locations across 30 states will participate in Charity Day, donating 100% of car wash proceeds to nonprofit organizations. Since 2009, Charity Day has raised more than $2.8 million, including $864,075 last year alone, and we’re working to make an even bigger impact this year.
Each Tidal Wave location partners with a local nonprofit chosen by its team members, ensuring support stays in the community. On Charity Day, 50% of proceeds and all on-site cash donations benefit that local charity, while the remaining proceeds support our corporate nonprofit partners, Annandale Village and The Joseph Sams School, which provide life-changing services for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
Charity Day is just one part of Tidal Wave’s commitment to giving back. Through our year-round fundraising program, we’ve helped raise more than $5 million for schools, churches, civic groups, and nonprofits across the country. As Founder and CEO Scott Blackstock says,
“Charity Day keeps growing every year because our team members genuinely care about making a real difference in their communities. This year, with 319 locations participating nationwide, we’re expanding our impact more than ever. We’re especially excited to welcome The Joseph Sams School as a new corporate partner – it represents our commitment to supporting organizations that transform lives and build stronger communities.”
