Okotoks CARSTAR held their annual Soaps It Up campaign Saturday.

The event is held for Cystic Fibrosis.

Mark Kharfan, with Carstar, says that it's for a group close to home.

"It is for the local chapter in Calgary at the Children's Hospital."

Kharfan adds the money will go directly to the chapter.

Some of the members were at the event as well.

Most of those members children are going through the illness themselves and came out to support the event.

"They are extremely helpful, supportive and a big part of this great event," Kharfan says.

Kharfan says that the weather was a slight worry to begin with but the day turned out to be beautiful.

"We thought that it was going to be raining and wind storms, but things cleared up this morning and it has been a beautiful day since."

Along with the carwash there was also a BBQ.
