Autism Friendly Austin, which is part of the Hormel Historic Home, to receive proceeds

Tidal Wave Auto Spa has announced that its 16th annual Charity Day,  benefiting local charity and non-profit organizations, will be held on Friday, Sept. 20.

As part of the company’s commitment to giving back, Tidal Wave will donate 100% of wash proceeds made across their footprint during the one-day philanthropic event. 

This year, Tidal Wave Auto Spa’s Austin location, at 902 18th Ave. NW,  is partnering with the Hormel  Historic Home for Autism Friendly Austin, which supports children and families impacted by Autism through their educational camps, respite recreation nights, advocacy and safety programming such as  Project LifeSaver.

Autism Friendly Austin, which is part of the Hormel Historic Home, will receive 50% of all proceeds made at this location and the remaining 50% will be donated to the  company’s longtime corporate partner, Annandale Village, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing progressive life assistance to adults with developmental disabilities. 

Tidal Wave’s Charity Day event won the company their first gold Brandon Hall Group Excellence Award for  Best Initiative for Philanthropy and Corporate Giving in 2023. Over the event’s 15-year history, Tidal Wave has donated over $1,360,000, with over $360,000 raised in 2023. This year is set to be the company’s largest  Charity Day yet, with 269 locations partnering with over 250 charitable organizations across their footprint.

Tidal Wave Auto Spa is committed to making a positive impact in the communities they serve and were  recognized as a 2023 Champion of Charity by Professional Carwashing & Detailing.

In addition to Tidal  Wave’s annual Charity Day event, the company also gives back year-round through fundraising. Tidal Wave’s  fundraising program has helped raise over $2 million for local organizations, and provides a simple, fast, and  convenient way for local schools, churches, civic groups, and more.
