A community car wash and BBQ is happening at all 200 Carstar Collision & Glass Service locations across Canada. In addition to their support of CF, each Carstar location chooses a community recipient of a large donation (hundreds of dollars). Our local Carstar has chosen IRC. To show our gratitude we need IRC parents & children to come out on Saturday.
