LA PORTE COUNTY, Ind.-- The Michigan City Police Department, Michigan City Fire Department, and Michigan City Area Schools will once again be “United for the United Way” as they hold their traditional Car Wash fundraiser on Thursday, Sept. 19 at the MCAS Plant Planning parking lot across from Ames Field from 11:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

A minimum donation of $5.00 is suggested.

An “elite” wash service is offered to businesses or individuals who donate $100 and above. Donors at this level will be presented
with a special certificate and a “thank you” gift from United Way of LaPorte County and will be invited to have a photo opportunity. 

This year, Michigan City Mayor Angie Nelson-Deuitch will be present during the 3:30-5:30pm shift, washing cars for $100.

“Our firefighters and police officers have enjoyed being a part of this each year. I’m hopeful that individuals and businesses across our community will step up to support this worthy cause.” said Nelson-Deuitch. 

Since 2011, more than $58,000 has been raised for the United Way through the car wash.
