When you support the American Cancer Society, you’re standing with an organization that has spent decades working toward a world free from cancer. From advancing lifesaving research to supporting patients and caregivers through some of the most difficult moments of their lives, the American Cancer Society (ACS) continues to lead with integrity, compassion, courage, determination, and diversity.

One powerful way to support this mission—especially if you have a vehicle you no longer need—is through Cars for a Cure®, the American Cancer Society’s vehicle donation program. Donating your car turns an underused asset into critical funding that helps fuel research, advocacy, education, and patient services nationwide.

The American Cancer Society’s Mission: Fighting Cancer on Every Front

The American Cancer Society works across the entire cancer journey—from prevention and early detection to treatment, survivorship, and advocacy. Their approach recognizes that defeating cancer takes more than one solution; it requires research breakthroughs, accessible patient support, and shared knowledge that empowers individuals and communities.

Funds raised through Cars for a Cure help support:

• Cancer research focused on prevention, treatment, and survivorship
• Patient support services that provide free resources and guidance to individuals and families
• Advocacy efforts that fight for policies improving access to care
• Education and information-sharing to help people make informed health decisions

Your vehicle donation directly contributes to this comprehensive fight against cancer.

Why Donate a Car Instead of Selling It?

Selling or trading in a used vehicle can take time, effort, and negotiation. Donating your car to the American Cancer Society offers a simpler alternative—one that also creates meaningful impact.

A car donation through Cars for a Cure:

• Supports lifesaving cancer research and patient programs
• Helps advance advocacy and education efforts
• May provide you with a tax-deductible receipt
• Allows you to give back without the hassle of private resale

It’s a practical way to align a personal decision with a cause that affects millions of individuals and families.
