July 15, 2026 — As classrooms prepare to welcome students for a new school year, Rocket Express Car Wash is inviting local communities to recognize the educators who make a lasting difference every day. From July 15 through September 15, 2026, the company is accepting entries for its Teacher Sweeps, giving one exceptional teacher a $500 gift card to help purchase classroom supplies, educational materials, and other resources for the upcoming school year.
Teachers often go above and beyond for their students, dedicating countless hours and frequently spending their own money to create engaging learning environments. Rocket Express Car Wash created Teacher Sweeps to honor those efforts and give one deserving educator extra support before the first school bell rings.
The $500 gift card can be used to stock classroom shelves with supplies, purchase instructional materials, add books and technology, or help fulfill a classroom wish list—making a meaningful impact for both teachers and their students.
"Every community has teachers who inspire students to dream bigger, work harder, and believe in themselves," said Doug Miller, Vice President of Marketing for ZIPS Car Wash, parent company of Rocket Express Car Wash. "Teacher Sweeps gives us an opportunity to recognize those educators and invest in the classrooms where tomorrow's leaders are learning today."
Rocket Express encourages parents, students, school staff, and community members to share the story of a teacher whose dedication, encouragement, and passion have made a positive impact. One thoughtful entry could provide a classroom with valuable resources that benefit students throughout the school year.
