Staff at Scaynes Hill Service Station will once again open their car wash on 13th February to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Scaynes Hill Service Station
But this year’s event will be
particularly poignant as they
remember Jay Patel, who lost
his battle with cancer last year.
Jay owned the service station
with his brother Gunvant and
the pair started the annual
fundraiser in 2009. Since then
they have raised over £11,000 for the charity.
Last year saw the most successful event yet, with more than 250 washes sold and staff working extra-long shifts to cope with demand. Along with proceeds from a raffle, the event raised £3,150, smashing the target of £3,000.
This year the garage will be open for car washes between 6am and 11pm on Thursday 13th February.
Throughout the day customers are invited to ‘buy’ a car wash ticket by making a donation to charity. Tickets
are valid for 30 days, giving customers the option to return over the next few days. There is also the chance to buy raffle tickets in-store too. All the money raised goes directly to Cancer Research UK.
