Los Angeles City Re-writes Free Car Wash Fundraiser E-Book


The City of Los Angeles Storm Water Program has recently re-written the Detail Guy's Founder's Car Wash Fundraiser book to promote non-polluting fundraising events. The run-off from car wash fundraisers can hurt the environment with all those soapy suds. The City of Los Angeles has strict National Pollution Discharge Elimination System procedures as required by the Environmental Protection Agency. If you run a non-profit group and you are looking to raise funds anywhere in the United States, this free online E-Book is made available thru the City of Los Angeles.

Environmentalists and dolphins appreciate the work of the City of Los Angeles, the second biggest city in the nation for putting this book online for free and printing copies to all those 1000's of groups within their fine city who want to do fundraisers which builds unity and team work. This has been an ongoing effort over the past two years and now it is online as well as in print for all the children of LA. This book was re-written to be Politically Correct from the original "How to Run a Successful Car Wash Fundraiser" E-Book By Lance Winslow (that's me). We gave the City of Los Angeles complete copyright latitude as long as they used it to help people. Here is our original book.

We believe at The Detail Guys that you should give back to the communities you serve. We thank the City of Los Angeles for helping us help all of you. When businesses, entrepreneurs and government work together in a seamless way, there is nothing we cannot do. Think about it.
