COLUMBUS, Ohio and CLEVELAND, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Express Wash Concepts (EWC), parent company of Clean Express Auto Wash, is proud to announce a $53,690 donation to Cleveland Guardians Charities as part of its fifth annual CLE Inspires fundraising campaign.

The donation was raised during a special three-day promotion in which customers purchased a limited-time "Guardians Shine + Ceramic" wash, with a portion of every wash sold benefiting Cleveland Guardians Charities. The 2026 campaign generated nearly double the funds raised during the 2025 event, when EWC donated $28,450 to support the organization's youth development and community impact initiatives.

"Our customers and team members continue to show what's possible when a community comes together around a great cause," said John Roush, Founder and CEO of Express Wash Concepts. "This year's campaign nearly doubled last year's contribution, which speaks volumes about the generosity of the communities we serve. At EWC, we're committed to making a meaningful impact beyond the wash, and we're honored to partner with Cleveland Guardians Charities to help create more opportunities for local youth and families."

The donation is part of EWC's broader EWC Cares program, which supports nonprofit organizations and community initiatives across the regions the company serves. Through fundraising campaigns, grand opening donation drives, towel exchange programs, sponsorships and community grants, EWC empowers both customers and team members to make a positive difference in their local communities. Applications for 2026 EWC Cares community grants are being accepted through October 31, 2026 at cleanexpresswash.com/washsmart-grant-form/.
