The simple act of donating an old car, one that is not running and sitting unused in your backyard, can make a meaningful difference for people facing breast cancer in Northern California. When you choose to donate, you help provide support that can improve lives and bring comfort to patients and their families. You have the power to turn an unused vehicle into something valuable. By taking part in our Northern California car donations program, you help create better opportunities for people to receive care, find support and move forward with strength during a difficult time.

When you donate a car to Breast Cancer Car Donations, you help trusted nonprofit organizations develop outreach programs that directly support people affected by breast cancer. Your contribution also helps fund research efforts that expand understanding of the disease and improve early detection, diagnosis and treatment options. You play a role in advancing progress toward better care and, one day, a cure. Your decision to donate creates real impact and supports meaningful work that helps individuals and families when they need it most.

We are not the only organization working to support people affected by breast cancer, but we focus on making your experience as simple and rewarding as possible. When you take part in our Northern California car donations program, you receive valuable benefits as a way of recognizing your generosity. Here are some of the benefits you can expect:

• Top tax deduction

How Can You Join the Northern California Car Donations Program?

Donating your vehicle takes only a few minutes. You can call us at (866) 540-5069 or fill out our online donation form. In either case, you only need to provide a few basic details about yourself and your vehicle, such as its year, make, model and mileage.

After that, we arrange a free pickup and towing service for your vehicle. If you are not available during the scheduled time, that is fine. We can still complete the pickup as long as arrangements are made in advance. You will receive a donation receipt that allows you to cancel your registration and insurance.

We then sell your vehicle through auction. The proceeds go to nonprofit partners that use the funds to support programs, research and services for people facing breast cancer. After the sale, we send you a tax-deductible receipt by mail, which you can use when filing your taxes.

If you have questions about any part of the process, you can contact us anytime. Our team is ready to help and guide you through each step.

What Types of Vehicles Can You Donate?

We at Breast Cancer Car Donations accept a wide variety of vehicles used on land, air and sea. In many cases, the condition of the vehicle does not matter, but not all vehicles qualify. Contact us to confirm whether your specific vehicle is eligible before donating. We focus on accepting vehicles that can be processed and sold to support our mission.

• We accept common road vehicles such as sedans, SUVs, vans or minivans, pickup trucks, trucks and various types of motorcycles.
• Recreational vehicles like campers, five-wheelers, toy haulers, motorhomes, travel trailers and pop-up trailers are also welcome.
• We also welcome specialty vehicles such as snowmobiles, ATVs, golf carts, riding lawn mowers, motorized wheelchairs, farm equipment and tractors.
• We also accept watercrafts such as boats, sailboats, motorboats, fishing boats, yachts, personal watercraft and many more.
• Aircraft like non-commercial airplanes and helicopters are also in our checklist of acceptable donations.

We cannot accept abandoned vehicles or those with little to no resale value. Vehicles must also have a valid title to confirm ownership. If you have lost your title, we can help guide you through the process of getting a replacement.

Beyond Donating, How Else Can You Help Your Community?

You can support people facing breast cancer in more ways than donating a vehicle. Consider reaching out to local health centers such as UCSF Cancer Center Redwood City, Stanford Cancer Center Palo Alto and UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. These organizations often offer volunteer opportunities that allow you to assist patients and families through support programs, administrative help or community outreach. By contacting them directly, you can learn how to get involved and make a meaningful difference. Giving your time and compassion can be just as powerful as giving a donation, and it helps strengthen care and support within your community.
