The Lansdale Library matched, if not exceeded, last year's fundraising tally of $800 at Saturday's second annual Clean and Green Extravaganza fundraiser, according to library director Tom Meyer in The Reporter Newspaper. Volunteers washed about 20 cars and more than five pallets of recyclable electronics at the event. Donations from the car wash totaled around $187.

According to the article, the recycling company waived the charge of transporting the equipment, meaning the library took in more than $300 in profit.

Montgomery Elementary sixth-graders washed some cars last Saturday to raise money for their school gift.
From the looks of it, the students got about as clean as the cars during Montgomery Elementary's car wash fundraiser last Saturday. "It's a fundraiser to buy a gift from the students to give back to the school," said volunteer mom and co-coordinator Michele Frant. "We had one in the fall, and it worked out great." The car wash event began at 10 a.m., and by 11:30 a.m., more than 50 cars had a clean shine under the midday sun. Those who got their cars washed could donate any amount toward the fundraising goal.
