Do you have an old car that no longer runs well? Are you ready to finally get rid of it and support a mission in the process? If your answer is "yes," consider donating it to our Oakland, California car donation program. When you donate a car to Breast Cancer Car Donations, your gift funds vital services for underserved breast cancer patients in Oakland and supports ongoing research to fight this disease.

Since 2015, we've partnered with leading nonprofits to expand access to financial and medical assistance for individuals who cannot afford the high cost of cancer screening and treatment.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women after skin cancers. Death rates remain high, second only to lung cancer.

California has one of the nation's highest breast cancer rates and death tolls, with nearby Marin County ranking among the worst in the world. These numbers highlight the urgent need for awareness, research and community action.

That's why Breast Cancer Car Donations is committed to growing our vehicle donations campaign nationwide, including here in Oakland.

Your car donation can make a life-changing difference for patients fighting breast cancer.

How Are Car Donations in Oakland Put to Good Use?

By taking part in our Oakland auto donation program, you support two highly respected nonprofit partners that help turn the tide: the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) and Women Involved in Nurturing, Giving, Sharing, Inc. (WINGS).

• ABCF focuses on early detection and diagnosis, helping save lives through screenings and research. Early detection raises five-year survival rates to as high as 93%.
• WINGS bridges the gap between diagnosis and treatment, providing comprehensive breast health services to those without insurance.

When you donate, you fight back with us by helping these organizations continue their mission of saving lives and providing care.

Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help My Community?

In addition to donating your car, you can support local breast cancer patients by volunteering. Several respected treatment centers in Oakland welcome community involvement. Reach out directly to ask if they offer volunteer opportunities:

• UCSF Breast Care Center: Known for advanced treatments and personalized care plans.
• Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center: Specializes in early detection, screenings and supportive services.
• UCSF Bakar Cancer Hospital: Offers world-class cancer care with a patient-centered approach.

Volunteering your time at these centers is another way to make a lasting difference for patients and families in need.
