Help us create 50 new jobs for people with autism
In Margate, Florida
Our vision
To open a second Rising Tide Car Wash in Margate, Fl that is staffed by 80% individuals with autism
Our History
In Parkland, Fl
In 2013, we opened our first location in Parkland, Fl. We are currently employing 35 individuals with autism at that location. Based on our initial success, we are in the process of building a second location in Margate, Florida with the same goal. This location will be bigger than our first location and we'll need your help to achieve our goal.
Our Partners
We need your help!
We work very closely with the Broward County School District, UM-NSU CARD, FAU CARD, Dan Marino Foundation, ARC Broward, New Directions for Young Adults and several other organizations.
To pull off a successful launch of this new location, we will need the help of a few passionate and talented Autism Employment Interns to help us prepare our new recruits for their positions.
What's at Stake
Let's show the world how capable individuals with autism can really be
To date, our business has been blessed to receive a lot of media attention. The launch of this location will be heavily publicized, giving us the opportunity to tell the world that a business is successful and growing because it employs exceptional people, people with autism. We cannot fail, there is simply too much impact at stake and we need your help to do it!
