Cars for Kids' Sake
Cars for Kids' Sake is an innovative way to help Big Brothers Big Sisters raise funds by donating your unwanted vehicle. Donated vehicles qualify as charitable gifts and may be eligible for tax deduction.
All types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, motor homes, boats, airplanes, farm equipment, and construction equipment are welcome. You will be asked to describe the condition of the vehicle. The vehicle does not need to run.
The process for donating a car is simple and hassle-free. Call Big Brothers Big Sisters' Vehicle Donation Program at (800) 710-9145, or follow the easy steps below to arrange a pickup for your unwanted vehicle.
The vehicle will be picked up, processed, and sold to help kids in your community.
