The ALS Society of Canada receives car, truck, van, SUV, and motorcycle donations. From Halifax to Victoria, Canadians are impacted by ALS. Not surprisingly, their response is to give…big!
The ALS Society and awareness
It is ALS Society Awareness Month. Curious about what that means for Canadians? Follow the charity’s socials. Get involved. Stay informed. And discover how you can advance life-saving research!
What is ALS?
“ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a disease that gradually paralyzes the body. It leaves people without the ability to move, talk, swallow and eventually breathe. 80% of people die within two to five years of being diagnosed with ALS. There is no effective treatment or cure of the disease. However, ALS research has advanced to a point that effective treatments are now a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if.’ Research discovery is limited only by the amount of funding available to pursue it.”
More funding contributes to ongoing research. Eventually, improved treatments and a cure are the outcome. This is the goal of giving to this cause.
ALS Societies fund raise on a regional basis. This provides services and supports to people/families living with ALS. Furthermore, it contributes to the funding of the ALS Canada Research Program. The CRP funds research grants and fosters collaboration among Canadian researchers. ALS Societies advocate federally, provincially and locally on behalf of people and families living with ALS. This ensures better government support and access within the healthcare system.
ALS Society of Canada accepting car donations
The ALS Society helps Canadians in specialized ways. Donors respond by giving in unique ways, too! Way back in March of 2017, Donate a Car Canada blogged about a $10,544.00 donation through a single car donation! We have continued working alongside this important work to these ends for years.
“Whatever your reason for caring about ALS as a cause, you are joining a passionate group…” People living with ALS today benefit from services and support thanks to your involvement with ALS Canada. Research investment today means effective treatments tomorrow.
How do I donate my car? Is it free?
The how-to: So easy! Complete a donation form. This will take a few minutes. Await a call from your assigned agent and have the vehicle picked up. Then, just watch for the tax receipt to arrive in your inbox.
Happily, there are no fees charged to the ALS Society. Ever! CanadaHelps (our partnering service) efficiently takes care of getting your tax receipt to you.
Your car, truck, van, or SUV will be either recycled or re-sold for the charity. The tow is free — every time!
Once the pick-up and processing are complete, we receive payment for your car. We then forward the net proceeds to your charity. Your receipt will be out to you within just a few weeks of final accounting getting wrapped up.
Questions during the process? No problem! We’re easy to get on the phone and by email. Moreover, you will have information at your fingertips at all times. This is all about your donation, your choice!
Ready to give your own four wheels to charity in this way? We are ready to help!
