    “I think a lot of what we do at the Foundation stems from my upbringing and the things I've gone through. Being raised by a single mom – we didn't have a whole lot, but we worked hard and were lucky enough to have people in our community who believed in us." Anthony Muñoz said. "So, being able to honor young men and women that are choosing positive paths and achieving despite the adversity in their way; that's what we want to do. Partners like Mike’s Carwash who believe in our mission and support these kids’ dreams, it’s what allows such a huge impact to be made."

    “We were thrilled to be able to partner with Anthony Muñoz Foundation to raise money for youth”, said Joe Dahm, president of Mike’s Carwash. “We’re grateful to our customers for supporting the Anthony Muñoz Foundation throughout our Kids Win Wednesday promotion. Since teaming up with Anthony’s Foundation, Mike’s has raised more than $587,000 through our partnership.”
