The
car was winter dirty, the kind of dirty that only Kansas salt-streaked
roads bring on. Twenty minutes later, it was just about showroom new. And, in the process, $20 was contributed for Heart to Heart International and Haitian relief.
Green
Lantern Express Service Car Washes are raising $20,000 for Heart to
Heart and the Haitian relief
effort. Through Jan. 31, the Salina-based car wash chain is matching up
to $10,000 in donations from its customers.
Green Lantern has locations in Olathe, Liberty, Wichita, and St. Peters, Mo.
We took a spin through Green Lantern in Olathe, turning Heart to Heart staffer Pete Brumbaugh's winterized wheels into something that looked - and smelled - brand new.
At first I thought the actual Green Lantern was gonna clean my car, which would be impossible for him, since my car is yellow. But then again, it's a great gesture to donate for the sake of Haiti, and for that I commend you guys. Well done!
