Lance Winslow 's Charity Efforts
Lance Winslow personally
has assisted non-profit groups in raising over $500,000 in funds for
their organizations. In 1995 he rode his bicycle from Oregon to
Mexico 1360 miles in six days in a pledge drive for the Special
Olympics. He was Deputy Grand Marshall and Honorary Sheriff for the
county’s largest parade and largest non-profit fair west of the
Mississippi. Lance has been active in the Optimist Club,
International and Kiwanis Clubs. He understands local politics
having run in two consecutive elections for a city council seat.
Lance was appointed to
the county’s Council on Economic Vitality. He also served on the
California Association of Governments. He founded the Neighborhood
Mobile Watch Patrol which involves small businesses, chambers of
commerce, police departments and cities. The entire program is
privately funded. He also introduced a program where local
businesses could sell their wares on the Internet, providing jobs,
additional revenue for civic groups and increased sales volumes for
many local merchants just as the Internet was getting started.
During
the aftermath of the Northridge, California earthquake Lance
reconstructed a water purification plant for Unilab, a medical
clinical laboratory testing corporation. His innovation in marketing
has propelled The Car Wash Guys to celebrity status in many cities.
Known for this enthusiasm, exuberance and motivation, Lance Winslow
is a speaker for MBA programs at top colleges and universities.
Lance worked with the
County of Ventura to design a NPDES permit for the Regional Water
Quality Control Board in California to comply with the EPA federal
Clean Water Act. He wrote many of the Best Management Practices for
surface cleaners, a category in which mobile washers and detailers
fall into, for storm water non-point source discharges. These
same BMPs are now used all over the United States to help preserve
our fresh water supply.
Lance Winslow was
recognized by the City of Los Angeles for their storm water
discharge program. Lance wrote a manual for the cities program which
allowed continued car wash fundraising efforts to exist even though
at the time they were in conflict with the California Water Codes
13260-13280, and the EPA. Wash Guys BMPs are also available online
through many governmental informational web sites.

Many
government agencies have linked to their web site to WashGuys
procedures as a way to help others comply with real environmental
concerns.

Lance is in the process
of forming his own foundation to help the World, LanceWinslow.org
and hopes to have it fully formed and funded sometime in 2012. The
Foundation will be an extension of Mr. Winslow's commitment for the
betterment of all mankind, a lifetime pursuit. Lance had
developed over three years, a special sleep schedule, Lance skipped
sleeping every third night putting in 36 hour marathon days so he
could finish projects. The other days he put in 14-17 hour
days taking no days off. This experiment did not work, having
affected Lance's positive outlook on the world.
Mr. Winslow is a
"Futurist" and was a member of the World Future Society,
but later decided he disagreed with their methodology and political
stance on many key issues, and thus, is no longer a member,
considering himself in opposition. He was also a
member of the Federation of American Scientists, but choose not to
renew due to their National Defense policies and military defense
systems. Being an
Entrepreneurial Capitalist by nature he is also a member of The Ayn
Rand Institute. Mr. Winslow, as founder is organizing chapters for
The OTT - Online Think Tank to help network the most brilliant minds
of the Planet. He is actively recruiting members now;
