Did you know that you can donate a vehicle for the arts in Canada? We’re so excited to sign a new charity again this winter: Theatre Direct Canada is one of the dozens of music and theatrical charities at-the-ready to accept your gift!
Help hit the high notes: donate a vehicle for the arts
Is the curtain closing on your old Toyota?
‘That old Dodge ready for it’s swan song?
Susan’s 2010 Nissan Murano was ready to come off the road. The driver’s door latch and lock mechanisms were broken. Its passenger window was stuck, and the trunk refused to open. A dead battery and flat tires, plus a few cosmetic injuries, all added up to the old thing’s last call. A free tow and a tax receipt later, and $400.00 was capably gifted to the donor’s charity of choice, Theatre Direct Canada!
Whether your unused, unwanted vehicle is ready for it’s finale, or just waiting for its encore performance, your local arts charity will benefit from it! We’ll have your car, van, SUV, truck, or motorcycle re-sold or recycled for dramatic donation dollars!
