Workin' at the car wash!🎵🧼🚗 Woohoo!
Our Summer Campers were blown away by everyone who showed up and supported their waterpark dreams at our car wash today. Together we raised well over our $1,200 goal, which means everyone will be able to enjoy an incredible day at the BIG waterpark!
A huge shoutout to our staff, who joined our campers in bringing the elbow grease and the heart while making our community smile and their cars sparkle.
Thank you to every family member, friend, and neighbor who drove through to support us, and a special thanks to the Riverwoods Police Department (Village of Riverwoods) for showing love to our CEL community. 🧡
