The Ice Bucket Challenge is an annual event that takes place across social media platforms to raise awareness and funds to help find treatments and a cure for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge started in the summer of 2014 and quickly became a viral social media sensation. In 2014 alone, over 17 million people uploaded their challenge videos to Facebook.
A 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 has been donated to Wisconsin Public Radio. This vehicle donation is an interesting one because the Land Rover Defender became a special point of interest to the U.S. government a number of years ago.
Another throwback to a car you may have ridden in with your dad or grandpa when you were a kid. This time we had a 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV donated to Habitat for Humanity of Western Wayne County, Michigan.
An old, yellow VW Bug convertible was recently donated to Habitat for Humanity. This car donation is for the donor’s local habitat in Honolulu, Hawaii. The generous donor purchased the 1975 Volkswagen Beetle after her last child left for college. She lovingly named her car ‘Baby’.
Just recently we had a beautiful 1961 Jaguar Mark IX donate to American Cancer Society. This classic Jaguar came to us from a generous donor in Laguna Beach, California. You can see from the picture that this car lived a privileged life in sunny southern California. With just over 27,000 miles, this car was kept in great running shape and was even treated to a new engine back in the early 1990’s. Due to the donor taking great care of this car it has held its value over the last 56 years. We expect it to earn quite a nice car donation for the American Cancer Society.
