Donate Your Car
When you participate in a Walk For Wishes event, you have the opportunity to make wishes come true for kids in your community. Fundraise for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin and help to grant wishes for kids living in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Madison, or Kenosha.
If you can’t attend either Walk For Wishes event, you can still help to make wishes come true for Wisconsin kids battling critical illnesses. Donate a car, truck, boat, motorcycle, or camper and turn your vehicle into a wish for a local child. Wheels For Wishes accepts vehicle donations on behalf of Make-A-Wish, and donors also receive a great tax deduction. Plus, free pick up or towing is also provided!
Donate your car today and make a difference in your community. Simply call 1-855-278-9474 or complete our online vehicle donation form. Both methods only take a moment of your time, but can be just what a child needs to feel hope, strength, and joy once again!
