Since 2015, Breast Cancer Car Donations in Evanston, IL, has been a trusted charity partner for people who want to make a real impact against breast cancer. When you donate a vehicle, you support respected nonprofits focused on preventing, diagnosing, treating and researching this disease. We handle the details for you, including free pickup and a tax-deductible receipt, so contributing is straightforward and stress-free. No matter where you live in the area – whether it’s Fleetwood Joudain, Lincolnwood, West Dodge, Willard or anywhere in between – we’re ready to pick up your vehicle.

If you’ve been looking for a real way to support people affected by breast cancer, this is an easy place to start. You can help by donating an old or unwanted vehicle through Breast Cancer Car Donations, and we’ll guide you through the process.

When you donate a car, you turn something you no longer need into support for people facing breast cancer in your community. We sell the vehicle at auction, then use the proceeds to help fund important programs and services through our IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners. These services often include:

  • Financial assistance for uninsured and underprivileged breast cancer patients
  • Access to treatment and essential medical services
  • Support for breast cancer research initiatives
  • Awareness campaigns focused on risk factors, screening, diagnosis and treatment
  • Fundraising efforts that benefit patients who need extra help

How Does the Evanston Vehicle Donation Process Work?

You deserve a donation process that’s simple and stress-free, so we keep everything quick, convenient and easy from start to finish.

When you donate your vehicle through our Evanston program, we keep things easy because we appreciate you. You won’t be stuck managing a bunch of time-consuming tasks. In most cases, you just contact us, and we’ll take it from there.

To make things clearer, here’s how the process typically works:

Step 1: Contact us to get started.

When you’re ready to donate, call (866) 540-5069 or use our online form to get started through our donation page. We’ll ask for a few details about your vehicle, like the make, model, VIN, condition and whether you have the title.

Step 2: Schedule a convenient pickup of your car.

After we confirm your details, you’ll choose a pickup time and location that works for you. On towing day, just have the vehicle, keys and title ready for the driver. Before the driver leaves, you’ll get a towing receipt, which you can use when you cancel your insurance and update your DMV registration.

Step 3: Reap the benefits of your donation.

Once we have your vehicle, we’ll sell it through a trusted auction in our network. After it sells, we’ll mail your tax-deductible sales receipt so you can claim a deduction if you itemize on your federal income tax return.

What Benefits Can You Receive from Donating a Vehicle?

Supporting breast cancer programs can feel really meaningful, and donating can come with practical benefits for you, too. Here are a few perks you may receive when you donate through our Evanston, Illinois vehicle donation program:

Avoid hassles of trying to sell a used car yourself.
Selling a used car on your own can be stressful and time-consuming, whether it runs well or not. When you donate instead, you can skip the ads, calls, meetups and negotiations.

You’ll save money.
The longer an unwanted vehicle sits around, the more you might spend on repairs, upkeep, insurance and registration. Donating can help you clear that burden and move on sooner.

You’ll get the maximum tax deduction.
After your vehicle is sold at auction, we’ll mail your tax-deductible sales receipt. We work to sell each vehicle for a fair market price so you can claim the deduction amount you’re eligible for when itemizing.

Enjoy our quick and easy donation process.
Donating can take just a few minutes on your end, sometimes as simple as a quick phone call. Our team handles the heavy lifting, including the logistics and the required paperwork.
