VASJ/Action CARSTAR Soaps It Up Car Wash provides community support
The weather was beautiful on the shores of Lake Erie for the 11th Annual VASJ Lady Viking Volleyball and Action CARSTAR Auto Body "Soaps It Up" Charity Car Wash held on the front turnaround of VASJ High School on Saturday, August 3rd. Throughout the day the team of 35 washed 114 cars and brought in over $3,000 which included pre-wash ticket sales by the Lady Viking team members and donations from local Allstate Insurance agent, Lynard Zingale, Cleveland Clinic-Euclid Hospital, Action CARSTAR, and API Autobody Products Inc. The wash has become a way to support the Lady Vikings as well as a local or national philanthropy for the volleyball team and Action Carstar. VASJ Lady Viking Volleyball Coach Mark Royer and Tony Perrino, owner of Action Carstar-Euclid, feel it is important to "give back" and the wash supports this year's philanthropic recipient's (the Euclid Hunger Center) philosophy of "neighbor helping neighbor".
The Euclid Hunger Center operates as a choice pantry for the residents of Euclid out of Shore Cultural Center. Their pantry allows families to have options, eliminates waste, and creates a more dynamic relationship between the volunteers and area families. The site relies on donations and the hard work of a group of over 40 volunteers and the efforts of two part time employees. Above all, the Center instills a culture of positivity and compassion. For more information on the Center or to volunteer go to euclidhungercenter.com.
