In a heartwarming display of community support, The Biggest Cruces Car Wash proudly announced a check presentation to the SkillsUSA Mayfield Chapter following a successful fundraising event. The car wash raised $500, which was matched by Roasted Rooster, bringing the total donation to $1,000.
The event was made possible through the generous support of Roasted Rooster, Adams Media, and Roper’s Kar Wash and Lubricators, all dedicated to empowering our future, one student at a time.
The check presentation took place on October 29 at 12:15 p.m. at Mayfield High School Students, teachers, community supporters, and representatives from Roasted Rooster and Roper’s Kar Wash and Lubricators gathered to celebrate this meaningful contribution.
“We were thrilled to support the SkillsUSA Mayfield Chapter and Mayfield High School’s mission to provide a positive learning environment where students can thrive,” said Lensi Shakra, General Manager of Adams Media. “Through collaboration and community partnerships, we helped create opportunities for academic and personal growth that lead to lifelong success.”
“We were extremely grateful for this support,” added Edward Morelos, advisor for the SkillsUSA Mayfield Chapter. “This event not only raised funds for our organization, but also gave our students a chance to strengthen teamwork and build lasting relationships.”
A special thank-you went out to all the volunteers who made the event possible.
