ZIPS Car Wash Honors Teachers and Nurses with Free Car Washes

ZIPS delivers shine to local schools, medical facilities and military families 

Kicks off annual Folds of Honor customer donation campaign to support families of veterans

PLANO, Texas, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ZIPS Car Wash announced today its support of 52,000 teachers and nurses at over 685 schools and medical facilities across 23 states as ZIPS and its sister brands, Rocket Express Car Wash and Jet Brite Car Wash, collectively celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Day and National Nurses Appreciation Day this week. Military families will also benefit this month as ZIPS Car Wash kicks off its 2025 customer donation campaign for Folds of Honor, an organization dedicated to providing life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America's fallen or disabled military. In 2024, ZIPS raised over $92,000 for Folds of Honor and hopes to surpass that in 2025.

"Local ZIPS team members have visited schools and medical facilities within a 3-mile radius of their respective ZIPS, Rocket and Jet Brite locations to distribute free Premier Car Wash Cards, air fresheners, and car wash vouchers to teachers and nurses who  download the ZIPS app. Together, this totals over 104,000 free washes being distributed to hometown heroes across the country," said Rebecca Latacz, Chief Marketing Officer, ZIPS Car Wash.

ZIPS' efforts don't stop there – May is National Military Appreciation Month, and the entire ZIPS Car Wash portfolio is helping communities across the country support Folds of Honor scholarship recipient families. Starting today, ZIPS is collecting donations through the check-out process at local car washes, where customers can add a donation of $1, $3 or $5 to their car wash purchase. The option to donate to Folds of Honor will be available on the final screen before checkout at all locations. No cash donations will be accepted on site.

"We were blown away with the generosity of our customers in 2024 and we know that if everyone gives a little, we can work together to make a big impact for many local families of fallen or wounded soldiers and fuel their children's academic dreams," Latacz added.

ZIPS, Rocket Express and Jet Brite Car Wash customers will all participate in the donation drive happening this month and throughout 2025. To learn more about what ZIPS is up to in your community, visit www.zipscarwash.com.
