If you live in Peoria, IL, donating your vehicle to Breast Cancer Car Donations is an easy way to help fight breast cancer. When you donate, you support trusted nonprofit groups working on prevention, screening, treatment, and research. You start by sharing a few details about your car online or by phone to determine eligibility. A local towing company picks it up for free at a time that works for you. You don’t even need to be there. After your vehicle is sold, you receive a tax receipt for your records. Your donation helps fund life-saving work and allows you to make a real difference with something you no longer need.

We turn eligible unwanted cars into funding for IRS-certified 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization partners. These organizations work around the clock to support individuals who are facing breast cancer and need reliable care and guidance.

We sell donated vehicles at auction and direct the proceeds to programs that provide breast health services. Many of those helped by these programs are uninsured or have limited income. Every qualifying vehicle donation allows our non-profit partners to:
                                                                                                                        

• Connect or refer patients to local medical facilities that offer accessible breast health resources and assistance programs;
• Provide financial aid to patients who are unable to afford the costs of screening and treatment;
• Raise public awareness on the significance of breast cancer screening and prevention;
• Host fundraising events for the benefit of breast cancer patients;
• Support research on potential breast cancer cures

In just a few quick steps, you can complete your Peoria, Illinois car donation and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you’ve made a true impact.

Here’s our quick three-step donation process:

1. Contact us.

Call us at (866) 540-5069 or fill out our online donation form to get started. You’ll share a few basic details about your vehicle, such as the make, model, year, and condition, along with your contact information. Once we have that, our team will review your information and determine whether we can take your car. This will only take a few minutes of your time.

2. Schedule your vehicle pickup.

If your vehicle qualifies, we’ll contact you directly to set up your free pickup. You can choose a date, time, and location that works best for your schedule. We’ll handle the details with a licensed towing company. If you can’t be there at pickup, that’s okay. We’ll help you make the necessary arrangements.

Before your vehicle is hauled away, you’ll receive a towing receipt. You can use this document to de-register your vehicle with the DMV and cancel your insurance coverage.

3. Get your tax-deductible receipt.

We’ll prepare your vehicle for auction and work to get the best possible sale price. Within 30 days of the sale, we’ll mail you a 100 percent tax-deductible sales receipt. You can use that receipt when you file your itemized federal income tax return to claim your deduction.
