Can you take on the 999 Car Wash Challenge?, to help support The Fire Fighters Charity in these tough and challenging times. Over the year, Fire Stations across Cheshire would be opening the stations to hold charity car washes for The Fire Fighters Charity, but due to current restrictions, this has clearly had to stop, but leaving The Fire Fighters Charity with a massive drop of fundraising...... so that's when we had an idea on how to help!
The 999 Car Wash Challenge
It's a simple challenge that we hope you can support at home -
- The Challenge is too wash your whole car/ van/ bike in 9 minutes from start to finish.
- Nominate 9 people to wash their own cars at home anytime they can.
- Make a suggested donation of £9 to the Fire Fighters Charity, but donate whatever you can, even a pound will have a huge impact to the charity.
Any support to the 999 Car Wash Challenge would be out of this world, and mean the world to a charity that does so much to support the Fire Family in these tough times.
So grab a sponge, bucket of water and lets make a difference to so many peoples lives!
The 1st car to be washed will be by Jon Woolley at Crewe Fire Station, who wanted to support the charity due to Crewe Fire Station car wash being cancelled..... lets see how far we can reach! :)
Thank you!
A update from The Fire Fighters Charity.
Every year our amazing supporters, donors and fundraisers come together to raise the £10m we need to operate our services in support of the entire UK fire services community. This year, however, the coronavirus pandemic has brought our traditional fundraising to a halt, with the cancellation or postponement of countless events and challenges. Furthermore, the Charity does not meet the criteria outlined by Government in regards to grant support. In all, we estimate that we may raise only around 50% of our usual annual fundraising income this year, which means that we may have to curtail our ambitions and plans for the future, unless we can find an alternate way to raise that income. However, just as we are having to devise new ways to deliver our services and support those in need over this period, we are confident that our inspirational fundraisers can rise to the Fire Family Challenge and turn disappointment and frustration into innovation and income.
