Donating Your Used Car to Benefit Cancer Charities
You may not know that many cancer charities accept donations of vehicles of all kinds – cars, trucks, boats, trailers, RV’s and more. Not only that but you might not know where to begin in your search for a charity to accept such a donation. If you’ve got a used vehicle that you no longer need, consider donating it to a cancer charity instead. You might be curious about what specific charities accept car donations, or you might be looking for more information on where and how to donate. Depending on which type of cancer organization you wish to support, there are a number of resources available.
If your preferred cause is breast cancer research, you may want to consider a donation to The Breast Cancer Society, Inc. (TBCS). TBCS provides much needed support to breast cancer patients and their families. They provide financial aid, education, referral services, supplies and more. To donate your car for this cancer charity, visit their site or you can call: 1-866-699-5718. They claim to have live operators 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are also an Accredited Business of the Better Business Bureau.
If you wish to support all types of cancer research, then contact the American Cancer Society. They also accept vehicle donations via the Cars for a Cure® program. However, there are restrictions on the types of vehicles they accept. According to their website, “The vehicle must have four inflated tires, available keys and be in at least fair condition.” If you have questions about their policy or what they will accept contact them at: 1-888-227-5500
The Cancer Research Institute (CRI) is another cancer organization that accepts vehicle donations. Donations to this organization provide primarily funds for immunology research, which this organization has supported for more than 50 years. Over the years they have offered much hope for the treatment and prevention of all types of cancer.
Regardless of which cause you support, you’ll find many organizations willing to accept your used vehicle. Do your research in advance to make sure the charity is legitimate. By donating your used car to a cancer charity, you’ll get a tax credit and support your cause all at the same time!
