Soapy Joe\u2019s Car Wash<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/span>is hosting its 8th annual Soapy Joe\u2019s Day on Thursday, April 20. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soapy Joe\u2019s Day was proclaimed to take place yearly on the third Thursday of April, first by sitting mayor Kevin Faulkner in 2016 and then upheld in 2023 by County Supervisor Nora Vargas. To commemorate Soapy Joe\u2019s Day, the company is offering everyone FREE car washes and observing community initiatives, including the winner reveal and donation presentation in Miramar of its Kids\u2019 Coloring Contest in partnership with Rady Children’s Hospital <\/span><\/span><\/span>and Alexa’s PLAYC.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Among the local Soapy Joe\u2019s locations are 5322 Jackson Drive in La Mesa and 6675 El Cajon Boulevard in the College Area.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soapy Joe\u2019s Day is open to the San Diego community and is completely free of charge. To receive a free $20 Magic Joe wash, attendees must register in advance on <\/span><\/span><\/span>soapyjoescarwash.com\/SJDay<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>. Participants will receive a barcode valid at any of the 19 locations across San Diego County. Current members will receive free upgrades to the premium Magic Joe wash all day long. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The water-wise car wash will also be celebrating its eco-friendly practices, giving customers who visit any location free environmentally-conscious water bottles and hair scrunchies (while supplies last). Customers will also receive one of seven different custom air fresheners highlighting the company\u2019s values at all Soapy Joe\u2019s locations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As is tradition, Soapy Joe\u2019s will also be honoring notable local organizations, Rady Children\u2019s Hospital and Alexa\u2019s PLAYC, with a $5,000 donation which will be presented during a Soapy Joe\u2019s Day celebration at its new <\/span><\/span><\/span>Miramar location<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span> (9650 Miramar Road) at 9:30 a.m.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During the presentation, Soapy Joe\u2019s will unveil the winners of its Kids\u2019 Coloring Contest. Since February, children from Alexa\u2019s PLAYC and across San Diego County submitted air freshener coloring pages using Soapy Joe\u2019s templates, creating colorful worlds of the Soapy mascot and his dog, Mitters. The two designs with the most votes, one from Alexa\u2019s PLAYC and one from the wider San Diego community, will be made into air fresheners that will be distributed in September for \u201cback to school.\u201d Each winner will also receive funds for their classrooms and annual car wash memberships for their caregivers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Over the years, Soapy Joe\u2019s has donated over $2 million to charities and nonprofits, both on Soapy Joe\u2019s Day and beyond, including The San Diego Center for Children, the Emilio Nares Foundation, Helen Woodward Animal Center, <\/span>STEP (Support the Enlisted <\/span>Project<\/span>) and more. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
