Need a car wash? And a laugh? Well, this is definitely the month to visit the Tanforan Shell Carwash in San Bruno, which is hosting a fun fundraiser titled Relief-o-Rama through July.

Proceeds and donations benefit “COVID-19 response efforts, local schools and arts, orphanages and other humanitari­an projects,” according to a news release. Here’s what you can witness at Reliefo-Rama.
