¿Cuál será el próximo Wildcat? 👀

09/10/2026

🚗 Wash Your Car & Support CCSD93 Students! 🚗
This September, Hector’s Car Wash & Detail is giving back to local schools, and we’d love for our Western Trails Wildcats families to participate! 💜💙
Last year, Hector’s helped raise over $5,000 to clear student lunch balances at CCSD93. This year, they’re doing it again—bigger! The campaign benefits Keeneyville District 20 and Community Consolidated School District 93, supporting students across 13 schools and more than 4,500 students.
✨ How it works: 1️⃣ Visit either Hector’s location during September. 2️⃣ Mention the fundraiser or bring the flyer. 3️⃣ Choose your wash—every tier gives back! 4️⃣ Be sure to select CCSD93 so your school district receives the donation.
📍 Carol Stream: 848 W. Army Trail Road 📍 West Chicago: 27W230 North Ave
Hector’s matches the campaign amount built into each wash tier dollar-for-dollar. Extra donations are also welcome and go 100% to your school district, but are not matched.
Your support helps the D93 Kid’s Foundation provide students in greatest need with meals, school supplies, and other resources for success. ❤️
Let’s wash our cars, support our Wildcats, and make a difference together! 🐾
📄 See the flyer for full details and wash options.
