One summertime Alberta Children’s Hospital donor wrote,

​The Donate a Car Canada program is well organized, user friendly and the program administrators provide timely updates/ follow-ups. It’s a unique and exceptional service that creates value to non-profit organizations and offers an environmental solution for managing end of service for high mileage vehicles. The program is efficiently managed and offers exceptional value.

You’re ready to roll! You’re set to give…but how do you choose? With (literally!) thousands of kids’ causes to choose from in Canada this can feel a bit overwhelming.

No problem! An easy place to begin your charity choosing is CanadaHelps. They list Canada’s charities by “category that is close to your heart.” This search feature makes finding a cause you can support so easy!

Not convinced you want to leave the couch?

If two-wheeled transportation (even if it is virtual) is just not for you, there are other ways to give. Kids Cancer Care accepts vehicle donations through our Donate a Car Canada program! Ten to fifteen minutes of your time will get you sorted out with a free tow. We’ll cheerfully do all of the work from our side, and our agents will carefully tend your donated vehicle. Running, or not, that car/truck/motorcycle/RV/boat will result in donation dollars for your charity of choice.

Join Kids Cancer Care’s cycle challenge, or set your own donation goals in other creative ways. Either way, we’re here to help you keep your wheels in motion!
