Holiday Inn customer service representatives have organized a car wash tomorrow (Saturday) for the Iris Recovery Program for Women.

Put on your sunglasses and grab your car keys, the employees at the Holiday Inn are planning a day of fun in the sun this Saturday (July 29).


The sunglasses are optional, but you won't want to forget your car keys.


Thirty hotel employees will be standing by, sponges and buckets at the ready, to wash cars in exchange for your cash donation to Iris Addiction Recovery for Women.


People can donate whatever amount they want for the car wash, although a $5 minimum is expected.


Respect is Burning Supper Club representatives will be handing out gift cards for free pasta dinners to each car that passes through the car wash. The card has a value of $15.


"We'll have a big tent donated by the Rotary Club with tables and chairs to get out of the sun or rain. There will be face painting and balloons for the kids, and the Holiday Inn is putting on a barbecue to raise money for Iris Addiction Recovery for Women," says organizer Jessica Seguin.

Seguin suggested the fundraiser to her co-workers and has been organizing the event along with her regular duties at the hotel's  front desk.


"It's a charity that we all decided was good to support. Especially now. We want to raise awareness regarding the importance of the need for women's shelters in the Greater Sudbury area."


The Iris Addiction Recovery for Women offers treatment for women with addictions.


A Day of Fun in the Sun will take place Saturday from 10  am to 2 pm. in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Sudbury located at 1696 Regent St.
