You can turn that aging vehicle into hope for Illinois breast-cancer patients by donating it to Breast Cancer Car Donations. Since 2015, our Illinois-based program has focused on lifting the burdens of patients and their families. We’re your local, trusted partner for charitable car giving, devoted to making every donation count.

Cars, trucks, SUVs, sedans, RVs, boats and almost any other motor vehicle you own can drive change. We auction your donation and channel every dollar to nonprofits leading the fight against breast cancer. By choosing us, you fund screening, treatment, prevention and research that aims to end the disease. We’ve partnered with Illinois charities for years, so you can feel confident your gift stays local and meaningful. That impact starts the moment we tow your car at no cost to you.

How Do I Donate?

Giving a car in the Land of Lincoln is simple. Contact us once, and we manage the rest. Here’s your quick roadmap, from pickup to tax paperwork:

1. You contact us. Call us at (866) 540-5069 or fill out the below online donation form to launch the donation process.
2. We pick up your vehicle. We’ll arrange with a towing company near you to have your vehicle hauled away at no cost to you. You don’t even need to be there when we pick it up and we’ll handle everything.
3. We generate funds for the nonprofit. The funds generated from auctioning off the vehicle go straight towards breast cancer charities.
4. We mail you a tax receipt. After the vehicle is sold, we’ll send you a receipt in the mail. Don’t forget to cancel insurance and registration on the vehicle.

After you reach out, we handle every step. You can relax and feel good knowing your gift is already working for a cause you care about, helping patients and freeing your time.

What Cars Do You Accept?

Breast Cancer Car Donations welcomes nearly any vehicle, running or not. You name it, we likely take it. We work with almost every make, from Ford and Chevrolet to Toyota and beyond. Have a motorhome or an idle snowmobile in the garage? They qualify too. Unsure if your car, boat, or RV fits our program? Just ask. In most situations, we can turn it into vital support for breast-cancer care. Every donation accelerates research, treatment and hope.

Who Benefits from My Donation?

Your gift powers trusted partners like the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) and Women Involved in Nurturing, Giving, Sharing, Inc. (WINGS). Through these charities, we deliver help to breast-cancer patients and their families.

Feel confident that your vehicle donation matters. It sends immediate funds to organizations focused on preventing, screening, diagnosing and treating breast cancer across Illinois communities.

How Fast Is the Donation Process?

The donation process is quick and easy. Once you contact us, we typically schedule your free vehicle pickup within 24 to 72 hours. You don’t need to be present, and we handle all the logistics for you.

What Paperwork Will I Get for My Taxes?

After your vehicle is sold, we’ll send you a tax-deductible receipt by mail. This document includes the sale price of your car and is essential for claiming your charitable deduction. Be sure to keep it for your tax records.

What If I Lost My Car’s Title?

If you’ve misplaced your car title, don’t worry — just let us know. In many cases, we can still accept your donation. We’ll guide you through the steps to obtain a duplicate title or handle the paperwork needed.

Can I Donate a Car That Doesn’t Run?

Absolutely! We accept vehicles in nearly any condition, even ones that no longer run. Whether it’s damaged or broken down, your car still holds value and can help support breast cancer charities through our program.

Helping Illinois Residents Fight Cancer

Facing cancer is hard enough. Choosing the right treatment and covering the steep costs make it even tougher. Low-income residents in the Midwest struggle most, especially in high-poverty counties like Franklin, Pulaski and Alexander. Thankfully, respected facilities such as Kellogg Cancer Center in Evanston, CancerCare, P.C. in Peoria and the University of Illinois Cancer Center in Chicago step in with vital care for neighbors across the state. These centers offer screenings, treatments, counseling and guidance when funds run thin.

Sky-high treatment costs and shrinking wallets place an unbearable load on low-income cancer patients. Those in Illinois’s poorest counties face higher death rates from certain cancers. Unemployment, rural distance and inadequate insurance pile on more stress. Without coverage, patients must pay every expense themselves. Even with insurance, limited-income residents stretch to cover co-pays, deductibles and other out-of-pocket fees, leaving little room for essentials. Some delay treatments, skip medications or sacrifice groceries and utility bills just to keep appointments and stay hopeful.

Surviving cancer doesn’t erase the bills. Follow-up visits, medications and preventive screenings raise healthcare costs long after treatment ends. Low-income survivors juggle new expenses alongside existing medical debt, often worrying about how to pay both. Many postpone care, and some face difficult choices between buying food, covering rent or staying on top of their health and future insurance premiums.

Recognizing the hurdles low-income cancer patients face empowers government agencies, nonprofits and caring neighbors to craft better solutions. Together, we can make sure every Illinois resident gets the care they need, regardless of income.
