When you donate your vehicle to Breast Cancer Car Donations, you actively contribute to the fight against breast cancer. Since 2015, your support has empowered leading nonprofits to provide essential services. Benefit from free pickup, towing and a tax-deductible receipt. Act now — join us in making a difference and saving lives.
California has the highest number of new breast cancer cases and breast cancer deaths in the US. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in California among adolescents, young adults and individuals aged 40 to 64. Join the fight against this disease and make a difference in the lives of those affected.
The American Cancer Society also states that about one in eight American women (or about 12.4 percent) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
The numbers may be overwhelming, but Breast Cancer Car Donations stays hopeful. With more awareness and your active support, more lives can be protected and saved.
That's why Breast Cancer Car Donations continues to grow car donation programs nationwide, including in Sunnyvale. Your donation plays a vital role in the fight against breast cancer, giving more patients a real chance to survive and recover. No matter where you live in Sunnyvale – whether it's Nimitz, Ortega, Panama Park, West Valley or anywhere in between – we're ready to pick up your vehicle.
If you're ready to part with an old car, van, or any vehicle that no longer helps you, choose the car donation service from Breast Cancer Car Donations instead.
Your old vehicle may not seem valuable to you, but for breast cancer patients, it can be the gift that gives them hope. You'll become part of their fight, and your unused car could turn out to be a true lifesaver.
Where Do My Car Donations for Breast Cancer Go?
The proceeds of your Sunnyvale, California car donations for cancer will go straight to our two trusted charity partners — the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) and Women Involved In Nurturing, Giving, Sharing, Inc. (WINGS). These are two IRS-registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that have dedicated themselves to fighting the scourge of breast cancer. They use the funding we give to them to sustain and improve these existing services, such as:
- Providing financial assistance to uninsured and underserved breast cancer patients, covering their surgery, oncology services, consultation, hospital fees and outpatient medication;
- Connecting these patients to local facilities that offer free and accessible resources, information and other comprehensive breast health services;
- Raising public awareness on breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment;
- Pursuing research on prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer; and
- Sponsoring charity and outreach events for the benefit of breast cancer patients.

The Sunnyvale car donation process is designed to be quick and simple for you. Breast Cancer Car Donations keeps it to just three easy steps:
- First: Reach out by calling (866) 540-5069 or filling out the online donation form. Share your vehicle details like its make, model, VIN and other basic information.

What Types of Vehicles Are Accepted?
Breast Cancer Car Donations accepts nearly all types of vehicles, whether they're running or not. You can donate cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, campers and boats. We also accept specialty vehicles like jet skis, golf carts, tractors and non-commercial airplanes. Even if your vehicle needs repairs or hasn't been driven in years, it can still make a meaningful difference. The only vehicles we can't accept are those that have been abandoned or stolen, or ones without proof of ownership. If you're unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, just give us a call at 866-540-5069, and we'll let you know right away.
What If My Vehicle Does Not Have a Title?
If you've misplaced your title, don't worry. In many cases, we can still accept your vehicle donation. Simply contact our team, and we'll help you obtain a replacement title quickly. We work directly with local DMVs to guide you through the process so you can complete your donation smoothly. However, please note that most states require proof of ownership before a vehicle can be sold at auction. Once your title is replaced, we'll schedule your free pickup and finalize the donation.
How Do I Prepare My Vehicle for Donation?
Preparing your vehicle is simple. Remove all personal belongings, including registration papers or insurance cards. Make sure you have the keys and the signed title ready for pickup.
