The Granbury High School Stowaways Drill Team set the bar for a clean car on Sunday, June 18, when the 37th line hosted a free car wash for Father’s Day at Chick-Fil-A.
“The team wanted to give back to our community and provide this service on such a special day,” said Stowaways Director Shelby Sargent.
Although the car washes were free, the team did accept donations — raising a total of $1,226 during the three-hour event.
“(Those funds) will help our team buy new uniforms for the 2023-2024 school year,” Sargent said. “Such a blessing.”
She said the team washed close to 100 cars, with the girls utilizing a system that they created to divvy up the workload.
“They divided themselves up and kept a rotation of stations, so every 30 minutes or so they would rotate from holding signs, to washing the car, rinsing the cars, and drying the cars — all while dancing and laughing in the process,” Sargent said. “Everyone worked so well together and contributed the entire time.”
Sargent added that she is thankful to the staff at Granbury Chick-Fil-A for allowing the team to use their parking lot and water for their car wash.
“Each girl worked hard and did everything in their power to make it a fun, successful, and top-notch event,” she added. “Thank you to everyone who came out and supported.”
