“Our customers have helped us raise over $72,000 for student scholarships since our anniversary celebration kicked off on June 4, 2024, and we are proud to reveal our total donation amount of over $92,000 and to gift it to such a deserving organization who support military families across the country,” said Rebecca Latacz, Chief Marketing Officer, ZIPS Car Wash. “It’s our goal to honor U.S. service men and women through our flag raising ceremony and recognize Kylie Jackson, our 20^th Folds of Honor scholarship recipient, for her family’s sacrifice in service to our country,” she added.

Kylie Michelle Jackson is the daughter of US Army Major Karras Kenyetta Jackson, who served 24 years in the US Army. Kylie is from Cedar Hill, TX, and is a Senior at Bishop Dunne Catholic School. After graduation, she plans to major in nursing and become a NICU nurse, fulfilling her lifelong dream. Her father specialized in Health Service Material and was deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
