Whistle Express Car Wash, a leading brand in the rapidly
consolidating car wash industry, today announced a systemwide
partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a renowned
organization dedicated to improving children's healthcare through
community-driven efforts.
The donation collection will kick off on Sept. 16 and run
through Giving Tuesday on Dec. 3. Donation totals will be tracked
and visible at each wash and announced at the end of the campaign.
Whistle Express will provide two donation options for both new and
existing customers:
- Whistle Express App – Donate directly on the Whistle
Express app.
- At any Whistle location – Add a donation to your wash
purchase.
These donation features are another component of the string of
recent enhancements to Whistle Express’ mobile app, which it
announced last month. The growing brand is doubling down on the
digital experience, from a rewards program to universal memberships
to charitable giving – all in one place.
Since its inception over 40 years ago, Children’s Miracle
Network Hospitals has raised over $9 billion for 170 children's
hospitals across the U.S. and Canada by engaging with local
communities and businesses in its efforts. All donations benefit
local member hospitals to fund what’s needed most, such as
life-saving treatments, healthcare services, innovative research,
pediatric medical equipment and family support programs, as well as
financial assistance for families unable to afford these
services.
“At Whistle, we are deeply committed to giving back to families
in the communities we serve,” said Jose Costa, CEO of Whistle
Express. “Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals aligns perfectly
with our values, and we are honored to support their mission to
provide life-saving care and resources to children in need.”
To celebrate the kickoff of the partnership, Whistle Express
will host a special activation at two of its 10 new Cleveland
locations: 1505 Traveler's Point, Avon, OH 44011, and 2700 Medina
Rd, Medina, OH 44256. On September 21, the events will highlight
two member hospitals, Akron Children's and University Hospital
Rainbow Babies & Children’s. The activation will feature CMN
Hospitals’ representatives and local champion families, aiming to
engage the community and raise awareness about the impact of
donations.
Whistle Express is revolutionizing the car wash category with
competitive membership pricing, easy-to-use technology and menu
boards, along with free self-vacuum stations, floor mat-cleaning
machines, and towels and sprays, all of which deliver a seamless
wash experience resulting in a spectacular clean. All locations use
state-of-the-art technology that reclaims 85% of the water used in
a wash and uses 91% less water when compared with a home wash.
Customers can also add affordable and effective treatments – like
Rain-X® rain repellent for windshields or Armor All® protectants
and sealants – to extend the life of their car’s exterior and
protect against bugs, pollen and other elements.
