ScrubaDub and Cradles to Crayons Launch "Clean for Kicks" to Support Local Children

Motorists Can Donate Shoes or Cash for Free Car Wash Perks

BOSTON, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ScrubaDub Auto Wash Centers is proud to once again partner with Cradles to Crayons for the annual "Clean For Kicks" campaign, helping provide essential footwear to children in homeless or low-income situations.

Now in its ninth year, the partnership supports Cradles to Crayons' Spring Greening initiative, which keeps gently used children's clothing out of landfills and delivers it to kids experiencing Clothing Insecurity.

From April 9 through April 27, customers can visit any of ScrubaDub's 20+ locations to donate a new or gently used pair of children's shoes, or make a $5 donation, and receive a complimentary UltraShine Wax with their car wash. Customers can also receive a Free Express Car Wash voucher when they donate $10 online at https://bit.ly/cleanforkicks. All proceeds directly benefit Cradles to Crayons.

Throughout the campaign, select locations will also host appearances from local sports team mascots, giving families a chance to take photos and enjoy giveaways while supporting the cause:

• Sunday, April 12, 2026
  • Worcester Railers (Trax): ScrubaDub Shrewsbury Rt. 9, starting at 12 pm 
• Saturday, April 18, 2026
  • Worcester Red Sox (Smiley): ScrubaDub Park Ave, starting at 12 pm 
  • Portland Sea Dogs (Slugger): ScrubaDub South Portland, starting at 12 pm

"ScrubaDub, a third-generation family business celebrating 60 years in our communities, believes every child deserves shoes that fit and the confidence that comes with them," said Kory Vagos, Marketing Manager at ScrubaDub. "We're proud to make it easy to give back this spring and support children in need."

"We truly appreciate our partnership with ScrubaDub, which helps us get more shoes out to kids who need them." said Alicia Kabir, executive director for Cradles to Crayons Massachusetts. "By receiving high-quality shoes that fit, kids can be more confident at school, on the playground, and at home. Clothing and shoes are expensive, and receiving these items at no cost allows families to focus their budgets on other basic needs that kids require," Kabir added.
