Cars Helping Kids

Big Brothers Big Sisters provides great reasons to donate your car, truck, boat, motorcycle or RV.

  • Feel good about helping Colorado's premier youth mentoring agency. Your donation will help us serve more kids.
  • We will tow your car at no charge to you within 24-48 hours in most cases.
  • Your donation is tax deductible. We will provide, within 30 days of the sale of your vehicle, a receipt for the gross sale price of your vehicle. In most cases, you may deduct this value from your taxable income if you itemize. Please consult a tax advisor to determine how a donation may affect you.
  • We do not use a "middleman". We do our own work to maximize the value your donation will bring to Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs in metro Denver and Colorado Springs.
  • We deal only with reputable vehicle auctions and recycling businesses.
  • Your vehicle may be worth more than you think! Even old cars that can't be driven will bring us salvage value.
