Scott’s 2016 Ford Focus Donated to Special Olympics

Special Olympics Car Donation Review

“If you have a car no longer needed, Special Olympics is a great choice for your donation.”

After 10 years with our Ford Focus it finally hit the point where a needed repair exceeded the value of the car. Rather than having it go to the wrecking yard we decided to make it a donation. We are members of the Sonora Sunrise Rotary Club. One of our benefactors are the special athletes of Tuolumne County, for whom we buy athletic clothing, shoes and do other various activities with them. They are an energetic, fun loving and gracious group of people and Special Olympics is a huge part of their lives.

Add that to the Special Olympics rating of 99% rating by Charity Navigator and this was a done deal.

Filling out the paperwork was online, simple and quick.

If you have a car no longer needed, Special Olympics is a great choice for your donation.

Thank You, Scott!

Special Olympics
Every day we empower athletes to shatter stereotypes and exceed their personal bests on the playing field and in life. But for every Special Olympics champion, there is another who is waiting for a chance to win. Please donate and help us get one more athlete onto the playing field.

Oli’s 2010 Honda Insight Donated to March of Dimes

This was my first ever car that I got while in college. I planned to buy a cheap, used car with my savings but my mom surprised me by chipping in a bunch to help me get a new car. I named her Eustace and she carried me the 6+ hours to and from college for every vacation. She witnessed first love, graduation, and moved to the big city with me. She was tough, facing blazing summers, snow plows burying her for days, and alternate side parking. She drove my fiancee and I to our first house and then our wedding. She came and went to the NICU dozens of times until our beautiful baby was ready to come home months later. I was so nervous driving with our baby in the back seat for the first time, but Eustace was as steady and reliable as ever. She’s retired from our family now, but can hopefully still do some good for others.
