Can an Old Car Make a Difference in the Lives of Breast Cancer Patients?

Donating your car in Sarasota, Florida, is an easy way for you to support trusted nonprofits fighting breast cancer. When you donate, your vehicle helps fund important work around breast cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and research. The process is simple and built around you. Just confirm your vehicle’s eligibility online or by phone in minutes, schedule a free pickup that fits your schedule, and let us handle the rest. You don’t even need to be there for the pickup. After your car is sold, you’ll receive a receipt to use for tax purposes. Each eligible donation helps save lives and makes a real difference.

Your donation helps breast cancer patients in your city who don’t have insurance or who can’t afford the full cost of their treatment.

We partner with respected 501(c) (3)non-profit organizations that provide breast health services and direct support to patients across the country.

The proceeds from each vehicle donation help nonprofit organizations:

• Provide financial assistance for breast cancer treatment, including surgery, oncology services, hospital fees, and outpatient medication;
• Raise public awareness on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer to promote early detection; and
• Improve existing link referral systems to allow affected women free access to local resources and services.

How Does the Car Donation Process Work?

Your experience matters to us, and we respect your time. That’s why we keep our Sarasota vehicle donation process simple, quick, and convenient. You shouldn’t have to deal with confusing steps, extra paperwork, or long waits just to make an impact. From start to finish, we aim to make the process painless.

Here’s how our three-step donation process goes:

• Contact us.

Call (866) 540-5069 or complete our secure online donation form. We’ll request some basic information about you and your vehicle and determine whether we can accept your donation.

• Schedule the vehicle pickup.

If your car is eligible, we’ll arrange for a licensed towing company in your area to pick up your vehicle at a date, time, and location you choose. Towing is 100% free. Before your vehicle is hauled away, the driver will give you a donation receipt. This document releases you from liability and allows you to cancel your registration, remove your plates, and cancel your insurance coverage.

• Receive a tax-deductible sale receipt.

After selling your vehicle at auction, we’ll mail you a tax-deductible receipt that shows the final sale price. This receipt serves as your official record of the donation. You may use the amount listed on the receipt to claim your tax deduction on your itemized federal income tax return, according to IRS guidelines.

We accept many types of vehicles in a wide range of conditions. Even if your vehicle no longer runs, it may still qualify. However, we can’t accept vehicles without a title, abandoned vehicles, or vehicles so severely damaged that towing costs exceed their value. The best way to find out whether your vehicle qualifies is to fill out the above form or call us directly.

Here are some vehicle types we’ve received in the past:

• Cars
• SUVs
• Vans or minivans
• Trucks
• RVs
• Trailers
• Boats
• Jet skis
• ATVs

You can contact Sarasota Memorial Hospital or HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital in Sarasota, or Lakewood Ranch Medical Center in nearby Lakewood Ranch. You may be able to help at the front desk, assist with patient support programs, or offer comfort to families during long treatment days.
