California Boat Donations
Since 2015, Breast Cancer Car Donations has been helping communities by turning your unwanted boats into support for people fighting breast cancer. When you donate, you join us and our nonprofit partners in providing free breast health services to everyone, no matter who they are or where they live. Here, you will learn how easy it is to donate your boat, the benefits your gift can bring to those in need, and how your kindness makes a real difference in the fight against breast cancer. Your donation drives hope and care to those battling this disease, making your action powerful and meaningful.
How Does Breast Cancer Impact Those in My Community?
Facing a breast cancer diagnosis is one of life’s most frightening experiences. According to breastcancer.org, it’s the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S., second only to skin cancer. Every woman faces a 12.4% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. In 2018 alone, experts projected 266,120 new cases and 40,920 breast cancer-related deaths.
How Does My Boat Donation Help?
When someone in a family is diagnosed with breast cancer, financial stress often follows. Even those with insurance struggle to afford ongoing treatment. For the uninsured, the burden is even heavier. The American Cancer Society Survey revealed many women skip medications, miss doctor visits or abandon treatment because of cost. Shockingly, one in eight patients declared bankruptcy before completing treatment.
You can help these women through California boat donations. Your contribution generates funds for our nonprofit partners, allowing them to provide:
- Women empowerment programs offering strength and support.
- Financial assistance for early detection, medications, lab tests, and treatments.
- Public education on prevention and early detection.
- Research funding for better treatments and a potential cure.

How Do California Boat Donations Work?
We make boat donations quick and easy through a simple three-step process:
Contact us at 866-540-5069 or fill out our online form.
We’ll need your contact information along with basic details about your boat, like its make, model, year and location. It only takes about 10 minutes.
Let us pick up your vehicle.
Once we confirm your information, we’ll schedule a pickup date, time and location. A professional towing company will collect your boat at no cost to you – Breast Cancer Car Donations covers all expenses! You’ll receive a towing receipt that releases you from any further liability. Use it to cancel your boat’s insurance and registration.
Get a maximized tax deduction.
Because we partner with IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofits, your boat donation qualifies for a tax deduction. Within 30 days of your boat’s sale, we’ll send you a tax-deductible receipt showing its final selling price, which determines your deduction when filing your itemized federal income tax return.
What Are the Perks of Participating in California Boat Donations?
When you donate your boat, you’re not just helping breast cancer patients. You’re also benefiting yourself. Here’s what you gain:
- An easy, straightforward process. Just one phone call does it.
- Completely free services. There’s no cost to you.
- A substantial tax deduction.
- Freedom from boat insurance, registration, maintenance, and storage costs.
- No hassle from selling: no listings, showings or negotiations.
- The rewarding feeling of knowing your boat donation helps save lives.
How Common is Breast Cancer in California?
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in California. Each year, thousands of new cases are diagnosed, and many women sadly lose their lives to this disease. Some parts of California have higher rates of invasive breast cancer, including the Los Angeles-Orange County area and the San Francisco Bay region. In fact, Marin County within the Bay Area has one of the highest breast cancer rates in the state.
