Club Car Wash in Kearney is teaming up with locations across the country this May to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN), continuing a long-standing commitment to improving the lives of children in need.

Throughout the month, every Club Car Wash location — including those in Kearney and the Kansas City metro area — will be collecting donations to support their local CMN Hospital. For the KC area, that means all proceeds raised will go directly to benefit the children’s hospital at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Remarkably, 100% of the funds collected go to the hospital to support pediatric treatment, research, and care. Since the start of this partnership, Club Car Wash has raised over $3.5 million for CMN Hospitals, helping transform the lives of countless children.

Each year, CMN Hospitals selects a “CMN Champion” to represent the spirit and strength of the children they serve. This year, that champion is Briella, a 12-year-old girl whose journey has touched hearts across the community.

Briella's journey began as she was born four months early, weighing just over a pound. The neonatal intensive care unit became her first home, filled with challenges as she fought to grow stronger. A diagnosis of cerebral palsy added another hurdle, but Briella's determination never wavered. With support from KU Medical Center and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, she embraced therapies and defied expectations, walking at 16 months and conquering swallowing difficulties. Today Briella is a vibrant 12-year-old, traveling the world and dreaming of becoming a doctor.

“We’re going above and beyond this year,” Club Car Wash General Manager Alex Fischer added. “Our team is more dedicated than ever to making a difference for these kids.”

Local residents are encouraged to stop by Club Car Wash in Kearney throughout May to support the cause. Every wash helps make a difference.
