Car Wash Fundraiser Brightens School Spirit
A Tinley Park school fund-raiser. Vi Donald notes volunteers aim to raise about $1,000 as 40 students take shifts washing cars and holding signs on 171st Street. Donations vary from a few dollars to $10, supporting trips, uniforms, and other activities across multiple schools and community groups.
