The Godinez Fundamental High School Key Club is washing cars for free today, from 10 am to 5 pm, at the Mobil Gas Station located at Brookhurst and Warner, in Fountain Valley.  (See map below).  While the car wash is free, they are asking for donations and the proceeds will go to the fight against cancer.

This is part of the Godinez Key Club’s commitment to community service.

Key Club is an international student-led organization which provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership

A close look at cancer incidence and death statistics reveals that certain groups in this country suffer disproportionately from cancer and its associated effects, including premature death. For example, African Americans/Blacks, Asian Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and underserved Whites are more likely than the general population to have higher incidence and death statistics for certain types of cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.

My son Joey will be there today.  He is a senior at Godinez.  His grandfather died of stomach cancer a few years ago.  Kudos to Joey and his fellow Key Club members for joining the fight against cancer!
