A classic way to raise money for charity is to hold a car wash! Team up with friends and classmates and start by creating posters and flyers to advertise where and when your car was will be taking place. You could keep it simple and go door to door offering to wash people’s cars.
Make sure you do your research as to the best way to wash a car, using the correct products and be very careful not to cause any damage to the cars.
This type of fundraiser can be great fun and a fantastic way to bond with friends new and old.
