AUTOBELL
RECOGNIZED FOR YEARS OF PHILANTHROPY
CHARLOTTE,
NC
—Autobell
Car Wash Inc. was named an Outstanding Philanthropic Organization by the
Association of Fundraising Professionals-Charlotte Chapter during the
association’s 2008 National Philanthropy Day® awards, according to a company
press release.
The Nov. 12 press release said the award
recognizes a philanthropic corporation or organization whose programs,
gifts, and charitable activities enrich the community and serve as a role
model.
Autobell, the third-largest conveyor carwash
chain in the nation, was recognized for several of its programs, including
its Charity Car Wash program, which has raised more than $2.5 million for
non-profits since the program’s inception in 1998.
The chain was also lauded for its annual
“creek walk” of Little Sugar Creek in Charlotte, in which on-the-clock
Autobell employees gather to pick up debris and trash; as well as the
company’s employee scholarship program,
which has awarded more than 220 academic scholarships to date totaling more
than six figures to deserving employees.
Autobell also
regularly hosts fundraisers and drives for
organizations such as Make-a-Wish, the American Red Cross, and the North
Carolina Wildlife Federation.
Finally, the company was also recognized
for being a longtime conscientious steward of
the environment, beginning its carwash water recycling efforts in the early
1970s and continuing today via investment in state-of-the-art reclaim
equipment and technology.
“We are very humbled and honored by this
recognition,” stated Chuck Howard, president and owner of Autobell Car Wash
Inc., “and we're thrilled that our success in the carwash business allows us
to, in turn, contribute to the well-being of the communities that support
us. I'm especially grateful to our employees, who help
make our civic action possible and so effective.”
Autobell has earned eleven awards from
municipal, utility,
media,
conservation,
and non-profit organizations for its environmental and
civic activities and impact in
the last eight years.

AUTOBELL CAR WASH & WATER
CONSERVATION
With
drought conditions and a vital need for water conservation efforts upon
us, I would like to inform you of what Autobell Car Wash is doing, and has
always done, to proactively participate in water conservation.
You may already be
aware that at Autobell, we treat and filter 100% of our waste water and
recycle 80%. We use and properly maintain state-of-the art equipment and
technology for our water reclaim and conservation.
Additionally, a
professional car wash at Autobell uses a fraction of the water expended in
a typical home car wash. In fact, we discourage home and parking lot car
washes wherein waste water is often disposed of improperly and illegally
into city storm drains, polluting our streams and rivers.
Our charity car wash program
has significantly reduced the number of parking lot fundraiser car washes
by giving non-profit organizations an option by which they can raise
needed funds while conserving water and helping protect our environment.
In restricted water-use
situations, Autobell complies by adjusting water volume and the ratio of
recycled to fresh water used in the wash process.
Since 2000, Autobell has
garnered seven awards for our water conservation and environmental
practices, and during the 2002 summer drought, we were summoned to several
communities to educate others on our water management policies and
procedures.
We are in the water management
business and believe that everyone should do their part, especially in
times like these.
Sincerely,
Chuck Howard
Owner, President & CEO
Autobell Car Wash Inc.
