Would you believe if we told you that your clapped-out car could be a valuable source of funding for breast cancer organizations that support people right here in your area? When you donate through our Fox Valley, Illinois car donations program, that vehicle can be turned into real help instead of continuing to sit unused. Many donors are surprised to see how even an old automobile can play a role in supporting people whose lives have been affected by breast cancer.

We'll place your vehicle for sale through one of the trusted auction houses in our network, and the proceeds go directly to our IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners. These established charities use the funds to deliver breast health services and practical solutions to communities across the country, including those close to home.

These nonprofit partners help uninsured and underserved breast cancer patients by offering financial assistance and access to medical facilities where they can receive treatment such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. They also support survivors through follow-up care and help others through free screening, prevention programs and education efforts.

In addition, your donation contributes to breast cancer research, awareness campaigns and fundraising efforts that help patients and families get the support they need during an incredibly difficult time.

How Can You Go Through a Fast and Worry-Free Donation Process?

When you donate through Breast Cancer Car Donations, you get a smooth and straightforward experience designed to respect your time. Our company focuses on keeping the process simple so you can move forward without stress. It usually takes just a few minutes to get started, and once you do, your vehicle can quickly be on its way to supporting people in need.

Here's how the three-step process works:

1. Reach out to us.
   You can begin by filling out our online donation form or calling (866) 540-5069. We'll ask for basic details about you and the vehicle, including the make, model, year, mileage, VIN, condition and whether you have the title. This helps us confirm eligibility, since we accept many vehicle types but not every vehicle qualifies.
2. Schedule your vehicle pickup.
   Once we review the information, we'll contact you to set a pickup date, time and location that works for you. Pickup is free, and we coordinate with a licensed towing company in your area. On pickup day, make sure the vehicle, keys and title are ready. The driver will provide a towing receipt, which you can use to cancel registration and insurance.
3. Receive your tax-deductible sales receipt.
   After your vehicle is sold at auction, we'll mail your tax-deductible sales receipt within 30 days. You can use this document when filing your federal income tax return to claim your deduction during the next tax season.
