(April 25, 2011) OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (PRNewswire) — What do 2,000 volunteers, mounds of soap suds, 140 CARSTAR stores and more than 4,000 vehicles add up to?  Dreams come true for Make-A-Wish kids and children with cystic fibrosis across North America.

On June 11 thousands of volunteers across the United States and Canada will be washing vehicles in hopes of breaking the Guinness World Record for "Most Cars Washed — Multiple Venues" it set in 2009 by washing more than 4,000 vehicles in eight hours.  

In the process, it hopes to raise funds to help grant wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America and serve children with cystic fibrosis in Canada.

Themed "Wash for a Wish," the third annual Soaps It Up! Car Wash will be held across the U.S. and Canada on June 11 as a fundraiser for cystic fibrosis in Canada and the Make-A-Wish Foundation in the United States, as well as some local market charities. 

More than 140 CARSTAR stores throughout both countries are expected to participate in the one-day event. Tickets are being sold at participating CARSTAR stores in the U.S. for $10, with 100 percent of the ticket purchase benefiting the selected charities.

"Over the first two years, the Soaps It Up! Car Wash has been able to unite the CARSTAR family across North America to help thousands of children in need," said David Byers, CEO of CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts.
