Car Wash for a good Cause

On my way home from my listing at 27 Pine Street I came across a bake sale / free car wash. As it turns out there was a member of the staff of the community in the Newtown Square Community Center (home of the Marple Newtown Players) who had died of Cancer. The car wash was free, but after the effort the local kids showed and the quality of the job they did I felt compelled to donate. By the way my car was very very clean. Here is a short clip of the event.
