12 kids ranging in age from 5 to 16 showed up to wash cars for three hours during this one-day event. Drivers tipped the kids, knowing it was essentially a free service, and McCormick divided the tips among the participants at the end of the day.
“Washing cars is a win-win situation,” McCormick said. “This gives children the opportunity to earn a new skill and extra cash while we help those that are too busy to wash their own cars.”
McCormick said he hopes to host similar events in the future to teach children the value of responsibility and hard work. The kids who took part in this particular event, also learned the specific skill of washing vehicles.
