Donate Your Car to Support Cancer Research, Prevention and Awareness

1. 

Being told that you or someone you love has cancer is one the scariest things you can hear. It is a life changing moment. It is a time when many decisions need to be made about what treatments are available and what the prospects are. A lot of intense research has been done recently into new treatments and prevention methods for various types of cancer. The survival rates for many cancers are much better now than they were a generation ago. But, there is still much work to be done.

There are many ways you can help in the fight against cancer. You can volunteer your time, you can donate some money or you can donate your car. Many cancer charities accept car donations.  One of those charities is the Prevent Cancer Foundation, formerly known as the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation. Founded in 1985, their mission is to "advocate and support the prevention and early detection of cancer through research, education and community outreach to all populations, including children and the underserved." They have an A rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy and provide services throughout the United States.

You can also donate car to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Not only do they conduct a wide variety of public awareness programs, they also help fund breast cancer research worldwide. The American Institute of Philanthropy has given the Breast Cancer Research Foundation an A+ rating.

The National Brain Tumor Society was founded recently by the merger of the National Brain Tumor Foundation, the Brain Tumor Society and the Kelly Heinz Grunder Brain Tumor Foundation. They fund brain tumor research and provide comprehensive patient services throughout the United States. They also have a car donation program.

Another cancer charity you can donate your car to is the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Their mission is to fund research into the diagnosis, treatment and cure for ovarian cancer.

The Cancer Research Institute is rated A by the American Institute of Philanthropy. They provide funding to cancer researchers worldwide.

Cancer Navigators helps people with cancer in north Georgia navigate their way through the trauma of cancer from treatment options to aftercare. They, too, rely on car donations to help fund their mission.

The Breast Cancer Recovery Foundation provides services to survivors of breast cancer including emotional support. They are located in Wisconsin.

You can help to support any of these fine cancer charities when you donate car you no longer use. Your car donation will be sold for the highest amount possible and the cancer charity will receive the proceeds from that sale. You can donate your car if it does not run, but of course it will bring in more money if it does run.  There is also no charge to you for the pickup of your car.

In return for your car donation, you will receive a valuable tax deduction. For complete details on how to donate car to one of these fine cancer charities, please go to call toll free 1-866-448-3487.
