Fundraise For Make-A-Wish
If you are attending the Walk For Wishes events, it is encouraged that you help to raise money for Make-A-Wish, which will help to grant wishes for children in your community. You can also sponsor another participant or make a general donation to the events.
If you can’t attend any of these three exciting events this spring, consider doing some spring cleaning by donating your car. If you have an unwanted vehicle taking up space in your driveway, garage, or shed, consider donating it to an excellent cause which will also provide you with some benefits as well.
When you donate a car to Wheels For Wishes, benefiting Make-A-Wish, you are helping to contribute to the green movement, you are helping to grant wishes for children in your community, and you are getting rid of a vehicle in an easy way, but you also receive a great tax deduction and free pick-up or towing for your vehicle donation.
Donate your car today to make wishes come true for Southern Florida children. Call 1-855-278-9474 or make your donation online by using our online car donation form.
