Donate a Car to the American Cancer Society: Drive Progress Through Cars for a Cure

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.
How Cars for a Cure Works
Donating your vehicle to the American Cancer Society is designed to be straightforward and donor-friendly.
Step 1: Complete the Donation Form
Provide basic information about yourself, your vehicle, and the pickup location.
Step 2: Schedule Vehicle Pickup
Once your title is received, your vehicle can typically be picked up within 24–48 hours.
Step 3: Receive Your Tax Receipt
After your donation is processed, you’ll receive the tax-deductible receipt needed for filing your taxes.
The process is managed responsibly, ensuring your donation is handled with care from start to finish.
Turn Your Vehicle Into Hope
Cancer touches nearly every family in some way. Through Cars for a Cure, your vehicle can help move cancer research forward, support patients navigating treatment, and strengthen advocacy efforts that improve care and access.
