Mister Car Wash: Mister Car Wash is this year’s title sponsor of the 25th annual Parade of Lights on Saturday, Nov. 30. The business is supporting the event and providing dozens of volunteers to help with parade logistics and crowd control. Additional support for the parade is provided by the City of Tucson, Tucson Electric Power, Razor and Cox Media.
Allstate Foundation:

Seven Allstate agency owners and staff from the Tucson area came together to volunteer and secure a $5,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands Grant to benefit Bald Beauties Project. The organization will use the funding to provide age appropriate items for teen comfort kits to support teens hospitalized at Diamond Children’s Hospital. Allstate volunteers earned Allstate Foundation grants for Bald Beauties Project by volunteering and assisting hospital staff with teens who are hospitalized due to serious medical conditions.
