A Single Day of Car Washes Makes a Difference in Somerset
Somerset, Kentucky — October 19, 2026 — Tidal Wave Auto Spa’s 18th annual Charity Day event, held Friday, September 18, 2026, brought the Somerset community together to support Bethany House Abuse Shelter. Thanks to the generosity of customers and community members, the Tidal Wave Auto Spa location at 2350 S Hwy 27 raised $2158.75 to benefit Bethany House Abuse Shelter’s mission.
Why This Partnership Matters: This partnership shows support amongst the community for both organizations. It will make a difference in many survivors' lives by providing needed essential items. It shows just what a giving community that we live in and how blessed we are.
Bethany House partnered with Tidal Wave Auto Spa’s Somerset location at 2350 S Hwy 27 for this year’s event. Bethany House received 50% of proceeds raised at this location on September 18th. The remaining 50% went to Tidal Wave’s corporate partners: Annandale Village, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing progressive life assistance to adults with developmental disabilities, and The Joseph Sams School, a non-profit organization providing educational and therapeutic support for children and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Funds Raised Will Support: The funds raised will go to support victims in the shelter with needed supplies and will support staff with training opportunities.
Bethany House was thrilled to participate in this event. We had so much fun meeting everyone and we appreciate all the community support. Bethany House will continue working to move victims to survivors
