Shelley’s 2012 Mazda CX-9 Donated to Special Olympics

Special Olympics Car Donation Review

“We have a son with a rare genetic mutation, so charities that support people with complex needs are near and dear to our heart.”

We knew we wanted to donate our car to charity and saw Special Olympics pop up as an option. We have a son with a rare genetic mutation, so charities that support people with complex needs are near and dear to our heart. I also teach adaptive yoga for kids and adults and when I saw the picture on your website of the man wearing his special Olympics medals next to a car, it reminded me so much of my students I knew you were the charity for us.

Thank You, Shelley!

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.
