New Hartford Tidal Wave Car Wash Charity Day Sends $750 to Kelberman
The gift funds Kelberman's Utica Self Advocates group, a local program run with and for adults with autism and other developmental disabilities.
Kelberman received $750 from Tidal Wave Auto Spa's 18th annual Charity Day, held Sept. 18, 2026, at the car wash at 8428 Seneca Turnpike in New Hartford, the Daily Sentinel reports. Kelberman got half of the day's proceeds; the other half went to the company's corporate partners, Annandale Village and The Joseph Sams School.
The money goes to the Utica Self Advocates (U.S.A.) group, which helps members try new opportunities, speak up for themselves and build ties in the community. Kelberman, based in Utica, serves people and families affected by autism and other developmental disabilities.
The New Hartford location opened in late 2025, so this was its first Charity Day here. Want to help Kelberman yourself? It's also looking for holiday sponsors, starting at $200 a child or family.
