We Can't GIVE Money Away!

Times can't be that tough around the Puget Sound area. Three local businesses have come together for an upcoming Bikini Car Wash with the majority of proceeds benefiting local charities. But try as they might, they can't find a local charity willing to accept their donation.

Ronnie, with LocalPrivateGame.com, came up with the idea for the Free Bikini Car Wash and quickly partnered with Java Girls Espresso and Sunset Cars of Auburn. The idea was to promote all three businesses as well as help local charities.

His good intention is finding some bad luck. “We see this idea as a win for all involved but we’re having a hard time finding a local charity that’s willing to accept our donation. We’ve been turned down by Make-A-Wish Foundation and Northwest Harvest.” Ronnie wonders if a dying child experiencing their dream trip to Disney World or a hungry family that receives some food really cares that was made possible in part by a donation from girls wearing bikinis. Well, what do you think, would they really care?

why not most men will pay more to see great looking ladies washing ther cars than fat ones if you do not like it then dont get your car washed by hottys

Wake up and smell the advertising says ... on Thursday, Jul 23 at 11:36 PM

Is this really a story, or just an opportunity to get a bunch of people talking about a "controversy" that conveniently includes business names (including a Web site). Would love to see proof those organizations turned down donations.

rider says ... on Thursday, Jul 23 at 4:18 PM

Ill be there with my bike ready to get washed ladies just have to be careful with my baby

Valarius says ... on Thursday, Jul 23 at 4:00 PM

Want someone based in Seattle to give the money to? www.childsplaycharity.com will take it.

little one says ... on Thursday, Jul 23 at 1:26 PM

Most charities are skeptical of partnering with a group that makes a huge show of their donation...basically looking for free advertising.

Illuminati says ... on Thursday, Jul 23 at 5:48 AM

That's right, Susan. God forbid men ever get physically aroused. I mean where would we be if people actually got aroused? Remind me again how you're even on this planet? Oh, right, you daddy got aroused by your mother.

Make A Wish Recipient says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 10:15 PM

Just wanted to let you know first hand....I am a recipient of Make A Wish....and I care where the money comes from and who the donors are. I am so thankful Make A Wish thought of every family recipient, and respected their views.

Curious says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 7:54 PM

how many of you posters are inmates? Let's count hands!

bigger_85 says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 5:08 PM

hey, if they want to do something that make more money. good for them. if they want to sale their's fresh meat, i willing to pay.

Vance says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 10:59 AM

How many of you complaining ladies out there own a dictionary? Go and look up the word hypocrite, and then ask yourself, "How many of my undergarments (when I bought them) had a picture of a woman wearing only that product.Sex sells and you bought it

Vance says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 10:49 AM

sex objects... you will be treated like slaves...and by the way, for you...lets...say robust women.... I hear thecolor black has a slimming affect on bulge. And,as for you bikini girls...well...YOU ROCK thank youfor your time and effort.

Vance says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 10:43 AM

I have an idea!... How about all the women whom believe the method these girls raised money is an abomanation and imoral...why don't you relocate to a nation that requires women to covered from head to toe; oh by the way you won'tbe treated like

James says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 10:10 AM

Your all stupid

James says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 10:09 AM

you all stupid

unknown says ... on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 5:01 AM

these girls can wash my car anytime!

StupidArgumentsAgain... says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 9:11 PM

Besides, what's more degrading, washing a car in a bikini and earning money to help save a dying child, or sitting in your car with your tongue hanging out, handing over dollar after dollar as you drool on yourself? It's EMPOWERING, not degrading

StupidArgumentsMakeMeMad says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 9:03 PM

I am a happy, secure, and yeah, I'll say it... FAT woman in Seattle. These women are VOLUNTEERING to do this to BOTH promote their businesses AND donate money to the charities. Good for them! It's not degrading, it's THEIR CHOICE!!!!

ImBigger says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 4:34 PM

its the same thing if a group of guys wanted a charity car wash and decided to wear swim trunks. would that be "offensive", no it would be a car wash on a hot day and they are trying to be the most comfortable in the heat, so they wear swimsuits!

ImBigger says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 4:30 PM

this is rediculous, its 95 outside and the girls want to do a car wash for charity, what do u expect them to wear? a parka? of course they are going to wear bikinis.

ANCSteve says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 2:38 PM

Megan - "naked in a bikini" is an oxymoron. I'm naked under my clothing too - and I'll be you are too. Sheesh - get a life - or a dictionary.

Sarge says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 1:45 PM

KIM: You're starting to lose hope??? You don't see or hear about the shootings, molestations, drug dealing??? OH - It's Okay for the mayor to have inappropriate contact with a 17y/o boy in City Hall bathroom......... Give me a break!

Sarge says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 1:40 PM

Cancer Survivor: Death is a degrading thing. You and others will accept transplanted organs to replace your cancerous ones. WOW!! It's okay to exploit the dead and their families with no compensation, but these girls can't wash cars in bikinis....

Susan says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 11:38 AM

JERKYBOB-it is BEYOND attraction-- a sexual perversion - -I am sure if your daughter was one of them you would feel differently. Why can't you just donate money to the charity--without being AROUSED? Maybe cuz u r the only one JERKing YOUR BOB!!!

Quackula says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 11:04 AM

Women, take notice of how those chicks look in that picture. If you can't find a man in Seattle, it's because you are fat!

Don says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 9:31 AM

Without sex, you wouldn't be here. It is completely natural, and perfectly normal. Maybe some of you were hatched, but for the rest of us, that "satan activity" is what put us here. And this is just girls in bikinis. Give me a break you prudes

Don says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 9:22 AM

Are the girls being forced to wash the cars? Are the customers being forced to get their cars washed there? If you don't want to see girls in bikinis, stay home. Oh, and don't watch TV, or go on the internet, or read any printed material.

Cancer Survivor says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 8:18 AM

Being a former patient of St. Jude's Hospital, I would like to applaud MAW for not accepting the money. I would not want to spend money that was raised in such a degrading way. I would rather not spend money at all! This is offensive to women.

Gigglz says ... on Tuesday, Jul 21 at 6:42 AM

What about donating it towards breast cancer...

Roman says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 9:22 PM

I'll be sure to bring this up next time I'm solicited by one of the mentioned charities while I kindly decline them. They must not need money that bad...

peach says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 7:59 PM

WHERE ARE THE SHIRTLESS MALE CAR WASHES??! So unfair for my willingness to participate. More money could be made if there was variety. I would definitely give money to see a LEAN shirtless man wash my car.

Anonymous says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 4:29 PM

Hmm Doesn't pro choice mean pro choice or just the choices that are ok with you........

Anonymous says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 4:27 PM

You ridiculous self righteous women. A child is dying and has a last wish but it will not be fulfilled because the money came from a car wash with women in bikinis?????? I bet they would take money from Calvin Klein

kahnsk8 says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 3:55 PM

Kim, if thats how girls think then the DON'T have a brain. Hopefully they are hot. ;)

Dan says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 2:37 PM

I know most don't believe this and everyone has their own choice to make. Don't gripe at me for having different morals, we all have our own choice to believe what we want. Freedom of choice doesn't make it right. You make up your own rules, right?

Northern Redneck says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 2:35 PM

Women dressed in bikinis and undergarments grace commercials, circulars, ads, and billboards. This is what makes you same hmmm... Taking money earned from a car wash where women dressed in swim wear is bad. Who knew?

Dan says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 2:33 PM

I think a beautiful woman is a great thing. Sex is a great thing as well. But when and where is the key. Marriage. So many issues are created from taking this wonderful creation and enjoying it outside of where it was meant to be enjoyed.

slickwilly says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 12:19 PM

women in bikinis, how immoral - has to be Satan's work !! give me a f'n break you stuffy, straight-laced bunch of holier than thou idiots. and as to the worn out argument that it in ANY way oppresses or demeans women - complete psychobabble.

Anonymous says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 11:52 AM

What if the women are just wearing bikinis just in case they get wet? Get over it people! Your kids can see worse on tv, the internet, even at school!!

Anonymous says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 8:57 AM

I am glad they don't want the money made from sexually enticing people! It means they have morals and ethics! This money came from the work of Satan! It is dirty money! No different than accepting money from drug activity!

quasi44 says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 8:41 AM

Sad, putting your own measurements on here? or caring what additional benefit he gets? MAWF would take cash from Union Carbide or Dupont even tho their products and manufacturing CREATES those they say they want to help, and $ from JavaGirls is bad

anonymous says ... on Sunday, Jul 19 at 11:09 PM

I agree! Ronnie has stirred up enough trouble in Auburn as it is. You dont see him or any of the other business involved with this give a darn thing to Auburn Schools or any other Auburn charity!

Anonymous in Auburn says ... on Sunday, Jul 19 at 11:06 PM

I honestly do understand the cause behind this,BUT..if the real reason was for Charity sake, they would make lots more if they wore shorts and targeted everyone and put on a t-shirt and cut-offs. I think this is just to promote Java Girls instead

WOW says ... on Sunday, Jul 19 at 9:20 PM

5'1'' and 115? Thats a bit on the chubby side as is.

sassy_mama09 says ... on Sunday, Jul 19 at 5:20 PM

I'm 5'1, 115lbs and still think these women need to get a grip. I have a 4 yr old daughter and now have to be careful when going to get a coffee in case the barista is nude. We need to set boundaries, bikinis who cares. Pasties/lingerie is overboard

dorky_1 says ... on Sunday, Jul 19 at 4:10 PM

Well, Ronnni. Just move on. Give it to someone who deserves it!! Make A wish and Northwest Harvest obviously don't need your help.

No Fool says ... on Sunday, Jul 19 at 10:27 AM

I'm glad the charities see Ronnie for who he is. Hope all the attention that he is bringing to himself also gets him a look by the IRS.

lee says ... on Sunday, Jul 19 at 3:31 AM

so what

Ronin says ... on Saturday, Jul 18 at 4:21 PM

"Justronnie" (the writer of this story) is the "Ronnie" in the story. Don't be fooled, this isn't journalism. This is a very one-sided, self-serving story and Ronnie is the one who should be ashamed of himself.

Ronin says ... on Saturday, Jul 18 at 4:13 PM

Why so offended that charities don't want to take money from these self-serving businesses? They're not doing it for charity, they're doing it for it's advertising value. If "Ronnie" etc. were sincere do you think they'd be badmouthing the charities?

John zink . Shelton Wa. says ... on Saturday, Jul 18 at 9:15 AM

I feal this is a good thing these ladies are doing. who cares if ther in bikinis or leivis, it is the thought that is behind it all. Go ladies i am on your side, you are doing a good thing for people will not be with us for long.

tara says ... on Saturday, Jul 18 at 4:48 AM

Good to see some businesses trying to have some morals.

justronnie says ... on Friday, Jul 17 at 5:34 PM

This is Ronnie with LocalPrivateGame.com. I appreciate all the support and suggestions. I "love" the hypocrisy of MAWF. They've now agreed to take our money as long as we do it anonymously. Anonymous or not, it’s still coming from girls in bikinis.

thinker says ... on Friday, Jul 17 at 5:10 PM

Do you think the Make a Wish Foundation takes money from the Catholic Church? I bet they do already, or would without a question.

Jelii says ... on Friday, Jul 17 at 10:10 AM

try PETA, =)

samdamm says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 11:47 PM

Boring! Us "other women" deserve to see something besides half-naked women all the time in advertising. I'm 5'8" and weight 113, so I'm not fat and complaining, as a result. I just get tired of seeing women used for advertising all the time.

TRUTH says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 9:51 PM

Kim - Today at 4:19 PM I am angry and overweight, so jealous that I don't fit into a bikini anymore... Think i'll just take it out on these girls here since I could never do what they do.....atleast do it and look good, anyways.

fellowoman says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 5:24 PM

props to you all at least you have the right motives in place and are diong it for the good of the community and not demorilizing it I could think of at lot worst things. Go gettem girs

Kathlyne says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 3:47 PM

I honestly dont think that these women are bad examples, who cares if they choose to ware a bikini. and wash cars to make money, hello sex sells and it has. it is just really sad that a chairity wont take the money. I give them major props for this.

Kim says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 3:19 PM

I am so tired of reading this in the news everyday. I'm starting to lose hope in humanity These women are a bad example to young girls. Their sending the message of "If you don't wanna use your brain, just put on skimpy outfits and have men pay you.

Mild Bill says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 1:16 PM

What a bunch of prudes! Good people trying to do good and what thanks do they get? Beautiful ladies in bikinis? I’m liking it!

Steelhead says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 12:27 PM

The majority of people who have a problem with these girls in bikini's are usually out of shape and undesireable to look at..... they're jealous and should just go stick there head in a dirt hole and leave the girls alone.

AJ says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 10:00 AM

I would drive across town for that car wash... Never thought I would be jealous of my own car though.

CB says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 9:28 AM

Honest money honestly earned should be no problem for ANY charity.

Tim says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 8:31 AM

How the $ came to be WHO CARES. They still worked very hard at what they did. Next time you see a homeless person @ the soup kitchen ask him 2 things: 1 is your belly full and 2 Do you really care how this life sustaining food was paid for?

JerkyBob says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 6:08 AM

RRIIGGHHTT Susan! It is perverted for a male to be attracted to a woman washing a car in a bikini. MY God the horror of it all!

Susan says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 4:57 AM

Good for MAW and NWH!! No ONE should profit with monies earned from sexual exploitation of women. Surely you all know why men LOVE women sliding all over their cars-in bikinis-they get physically aroused! A perverted way to get money for dying kids

go for it says ... on Thursday, Jul 16 at 12:47 AM

I think it's a good idea, it's harmless and it's for a good cause, so what, girls in bikini's, BIG DEAL, BIG WOOP. It's summer, and there are a lot of girls in bikini's everywhere. Get over it! It's your that self contious, go to 24 hour fitness!

Anonymous says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 10:09 PM

Give it to small victory they will take it they are a great local charity

All the girls who are offended says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 9:44 PM

The women who are "offended" are just jealous they are too much of a muffin top to wear a Bikini in public. ; ) And that is my opinion as a hottie lovin' guy! Put down the fork, go to the gym, and stop complaining!

Who Cares says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 2:53 PM

As a female I am not offended by seeing woman in bikinis. I personally would wear one and I am a trim size 4 5'2" tall. But thats my choice-if women want to flaunt it then so be it. Some of the commercials are more revelaing Like girls gone wild!

Anonymouse says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 2:51 PM

Just give the charity a money order or something that doesn't give away how the money was raised. If the charities are refusing based on how it was obtained then give anonymous! Thats what I would do!

eoheat says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 2:00 PM

Apparently no special needs groups are accepting help which is totally ludicrous since they are always doing fundraisers to support their causes. I'm running into a similar issue with a barrier free condo I just created thinking people needed it:(

sue says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 12:10 PM

I think it is a great idea. The women washing cars in their bikinis would not be doing it if they did not want to.

Paul says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 11:18 AM

Megan, it's not oppressive to women for them to wear a bikini and wash cars, and for people to enjoy it. That's equivalent to being funny and dressed like a clown being oppressive to the clown.

Solution! says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 11:17 AM

Future idea: Kids dying of cancer washing cars... in bikinis! Win-win solution for everyone!

Mike says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 10:55 AM

So where is the car wash? Why not pay them to wash the car?

Megan says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 9:21 AM

I think it is oppressing to women all these stories that are similar to this is about women naked,in a bikini it is getting very old!

Anonymous says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 9:12 AM

Try habitat for humanity, or buy a bunch of toys and take them to the children's hospital. regardless of how u earned the money its with good intentions. there are places who need it and will take it. Good job tho!!!

Amber says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 9:03 AM

I agree, there always asking for money anyways. I would take the money from anywere if I was a charity.

Anonymous says ... on Wednesday, Jul 15 at 8:36 AM

Who really cares where the money came from? And what is with all of the controversy around women in a bikini working? If you go to a beach or the pool women are wearing a bikini.
