The program targets individuals who are considering trading in or selling their working or non-working vehicles.

There are no costs associated with the donation for the donor or the Foundation. Proceeds from the Foundation's program will support funding-focused research, disease awareness efforts, and immunization and treatment initiatives. Funds will also continue to help the Foundation serve as the primary source of information for patients and their families, the medical and scientific community and the general public.

In addition to cars, the program accepts vans, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, RVs and even airplanes. The Foundation's car donation program partner will arrange to pick-up the donated vehicle and will handle the towing and title transfer requirements.
