What Is the River-Friendly Fundraiser Carwash Program?

 

The River-Friendly Fundraiser Carwash program was developed by the Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership to help facilitate successful fundraiser carwashes while protecting local creeks and rivers from pollution that can be carried in wastewater from carwashing activities.

The River-Friendly Fundraiser Carwash Program:

• Provides community outreach and education about the potential harmful effects caused by wastewater discharge from traditional fundraiser carwashes
  
  
• Promotes river-friendly carwashing solutions that help solve pollution problems while also supporting the activities of fundraising groups
  
  
• Connects fundraising groups with River-Friendly Fundraiser Carwash Partners that can help them hold River-Friendly Fundraiser Carwashes, and
  
  
• Helps keep our creeks and rivers healthy and pollution free!

Please Note:

The River-Friendly Fundraiser Carwash program is limited to businesses located within the boundaries of Sacramento County and its incorporated cities due to funding constraints. However, we value the support and dedication of any business in preventing stormwater pollution. Therefore, businesses which are outside our jurisdictional boundaries that are eligible to participate in our program may apply for special courtesy listing as an "Out Of County Program Affiliate."
