Mazda donors go bonkers big

DAC: Good afternoon! Donate a Car Canada — How can I help?

Caller: Yeah…so…I’d like to donate my Mazda? How do I go about this?

And so it begins. One little phone call and you are on your way to your free tow! Your charity of choice? Well, they’re on their way to cash in hand for the heartwork they do — at no cost to them!

At the time of this writing, we’ve just processed one donor’s extraordinary six (6!) vehicle donation. Two of those cars? You guessed it: Mazdas. His charity of choice? The Alberta Cancer Foundation was the recipient of all six gifts!

Earlier in September, a 2012 Mazda 5 donation earned The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum a donation of $2022.00!

Last month, a 2002 Mazda MPV donor gifted The Alex Community Health Centre $568.69.

Why should I donate my Mazda?

Mazda donations come in all shapes and sizes. This year we’ve seen 3’s, 5’s, Proteges, Tributes, and MPVs. The list goes on. ‘Ever heard of a Mazda Bongo Friendee? I hadn’t either. A donor gifted one on behalf of CancerCare Manitoba back in December 2020. ‘Worth a little Google search, that one is!

The Mazda’s number one donation value enemy in Canada: rust.
Keeping drivers safe means that these chariots get rusted right out from underneath us.

If your Mazda is in rough shape it can still earn valuable charity dollars!

In great shape, it will earn more for the cause you love. We have re-sale agents coast to coast. Whenever we can, we keep cars out of the scrap yards by re-selling them for a higher charity returns!

If a vehicle cannot be re-sold, our agents will recycle the it. Donations for recycle-ready cars, vans, trucks, and SUVs vary from province to province. Each agent determines what they are able to pay for a vehicle based on curb weight, year/make/model/mileage, and the current metal market.

The reasons we give

Charity choice can feel like a really big decision when donating a car! How can we possibly choose one of over 1,000 charities? We give where we live. Hope. suffering, and sickness impact this choice. Legacy and estate giving can be a meaningful way to honour our loved ones.

The Alberta Cancer Foundation (Tom Baker Cancer Centre) was the heartwork of one September donor.

The giver’s ’09 Mazda Tribute was recycle-ready,

“This has been a great vehicle but recently we have had issues with it not starting randomly then it starts fine. It’s a 2009 so it’s just not worth us putting the time and money into it.”

Capably served by our regional tow agent, the free tow was arranged within a few days. The donor wrote in to say,

“The experience…has been extremely professional and easy. It was actually hard to let go of our family vehicle but when we saw we could donate of the the cancer foundation and specifically the Tom Baker it was an easy decision as I lost my brother to cancer in 2019 and donating in his memory means a lot…thank you for making the experience so easy with dealing with all your kind staff, including the…tow staff.”

The Goodness of Canadians in giving…even when they’re hurting. Giving with the intention of offering hope and practical help to others who will come after them. One little Mazda is a meaningful donation!

Every donation dollar counts in our shared experience of Cancer. Did you know that the ACF has an enormous project in the works?

“Alberta is taking cancer and we’re making it ours. Calgary is already a recognized hub for cancer research, treatment and care. That’s nothing compared to what we’re poised to become.

Canada’s largest, most comprehensive stand-alone cancer care centre is coming to life in Calgary this very second. Concrete walls rising to the big prairie sky will shelter 1.3 million square feet of world-leading cancer care, research and education.

The Alberta Cancer Foundation and the University of Calgary are partnering together with one mission — to raise $250 million in support of improved cancer research, treatment and care at the new Calgary Cancer Centre when it opens its doors in 2023.We’re asking all Albertans to join us in this once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform cancer care and treatment.”
