How can you make a difference this year? What will have the biggest impact in 2016? A great way to really make a difference in the life of a child is to donate your old vehicle – car, boat or motorcycle – in exchange for a tax deduction.
Donated vehicles can be any age or condition, running or not running. By calling Donate Cars 4 Wishes, your old or unused vehicle will help grant the wish of a Connecticut child. After you call 1-844-WISH-123 or log on to www.dc4w.org your unwanted vehicle will be towed with 24-48 hours and you will receive a receipt for a tax deduction on your 2016 taxes!
