Cars For Cancer | Oh, the Difference 4 Wheels Make!

Canadians have been donating cars for Cancer for over 20 years! Did you know there are around 500 charities dedicated to cancer research and support in our amazing country? Every one of them can receive your vehicle donation at no cost or effort on the charity’s side of things.

Donors give cars for cancer because they care

Every vehicle donation has a story. Because so many Canadians are directly and emotionally impacted by cancers, thousands of generous folx donate cars for cancer every year.

One of our fabulously generous outcomes in recent months was M.L.’s Ford Model A donation. The short story?

The Alberta Cancer Foundation was the happy recipient of multiple recycle-ready donations from the same donor over the past few years, too. This isn’t unusual! Vehicle donors love the experience of giving in this way, and they often come back whenever they, or a loved one, have a car, truck, van, SUV, or motorcycle that can aid the cause they love.

Personal connection and donating cars for cancer

Visible fund raising efforts draw caring attention to some cancers. These campaigns matter so much! Research and treatment development mean that illness that historically would have resulted in death is now treatable and survivable. One such is prostate cancer.

One vehicle donor had a personal mission to raise awareness and compel action. He had a close call with prostate cancer and it shook him to the core. The result was a radical generosity! He donated an auction-ready Mercedes that resulted in a donation of over $27,000.00 for Prostate Cancer Canada!

Kids Cancer Care Foundation receives 5 vehicle donation — from one donor!

When a donor found herself settling an Alberta estate, she needed a simple solution for managing multiple vehicles left on her loved one’s property. One by one, we excitedly watched as each unique donation rolled in on behalf of her charity of choice, Kids Cancer Care.

When the agent successfully completed her first free tow, she wrote in to note, “Very good service.” The second wave of vehicles were helped along by a, “Very nice young man,” too!

All-in-all, KCC received the net proceeds from her generously donated estate 1992 Buick Regal, 1984 Chevrolet Geo Citation, 1981 Oldsmobile Tornado (she had a “tear in her eye” as she watched this one roll away), 1981 Ford F-250, and 1980 Ford Econoline. These vehicles added up to thousands of donation dollars for her charity of choice!
