ZIPS Car Wash Donates $170,000 to Folds of Honor, and Free Car Wash to Veterans
Privately held, ZIPS Car Wash, partnered with the Frisco, Texas Police Department to host a Flag Raising Ceremony on Veterans Day at its El Dorado Parkway location in Texas. The celebration was to recognize the company’s record donation of $170,000 to non-profit, Folds of Honor. This organization provides educational scholarships to spouses and children of U.S. military service members and first responders who have fallen or become disabled while in service to the country or their local community.
ZIPS also honored veterans and active military at all its other locations and brands, including Rocket Express Car Wash, and Jet Brite Car Wash with a free car wash on Veterans Day.
The company has made it a priority to raise money for Folds of Honor by hosting a ‘Patriot Weekend’ event across all its locations from September 11-14, 2025. During that event, the company donated a portion of every car wash to Folds of Honor.
“We are so grateful to ZIPS Car Wash and it’s patriotic patrons for supporting our deserving recipients,” Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, founder and CEO of Folds of Honor said. “This selfless generosity will make a life-changing difference.”
ZIPS has over 200 locations across 20 states. Learn more
