Donate Cars 4 Wishes, CT's Nonprofit Car Donation Program to Benefit Make A Wish, Also Accepts Boats, RVs and Motorcycles

People donate their vehicles as charitable donations for many reasons. Some donors simply want an old, unused or unwanted vehicle off their property. We drive by these vehicles every day and in every city, town and neighborhood -- cars or boats that folks don’t know what to do with. Maybe they tried to sell them and couldn’t. Now they just sit there collecting dust and growing rust, so they call Donate Cars 4 Wishes.

Other donors have motorcycles they no longer ride or RVs they no longer use. So instead of taking up storage space, they donate these unused or unwanted vehicles to benefit Make A Wish Connecticut and the funds from their donated vehicles help grant the wishes of Connecticut children experiencing life-threatening medical conditions.

While many of the vehicles donated to Donate Cars 4 Wishes are old and unwanted, some are old and highly sought after. Just a few weeks ago, a West Hartford resident donated a 1903 Buckmobile to Donate Cars 4 Wishes, a car valued at $70,000 !

1903 Buckmobile

Only four Buckmobiles are known to exist in the world. Three are in museums and this one, recently donated to DC4W. The Buckmobile will be auctioned with all proceeds going to Make A Wish Connecticut.

The Buckmobile is a valuable car. But the fact is, if you have any kind of vehicle – car, boat, motorcycle, plane or RV – you can donate it in exchange for the maximum tax deduction permitted under law.

Any vehicle – running or not running or with four flat tires – Call Donate Cars 4 Wishes at 1-844-WISH-123 or go to www.dc4w.org and your unwanted vehicle will be towed within 48 hours and you will receive a receipt for the maximum allowable tax deduction permitted under law!

Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut’s president and CEO Pam Keough said, “Make-A-Wish Connecticut is excited to be the beneficiary of the Donate Cars 4 Wishes car donation program. DC4W Founder Denny Gates and the DC4W team is committed to helping make wishes come true for Connecticut children.”

The Buckmobile is currently on display at Columbia Ford on Rt. 6 in Columbia, Connecticut.

Donate Cars 4 Wishes is a 501(c )3 nonprofit headquartered in Glastonbury that serves the entire state of Connecticut.
