Car Donation Foundation d/b/a Wheels For Wishes, the car donation charity, has reached a milestone of $40,214,165 donated to Make-A-Wish chapters throughout the U.S. in furtherance of their charitable work for children, as of Dec. 2016.
Wheels For Wishes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization originally founded in 2009. Initially it was a small entity that helped develop a car donation program to a small number of Make-A-Wish chapters. Since then, this car donation program has become a very large national program and has had the pleasure of donating to more than 42 Make-A-Wish chapters throughout the U.S. Donors who take part in the car donation program receive free vehicle towing from any location as well as a tax-deductible receipt.
"It gives us great pride knowing Wheels for Wishes was and continues to be a part of helping fulfil wishes for so many children who have been impacted with a life-threatening medical condition," Loren Dorshow, Executive Director, said. "We look forward to the day when Car Donation Foundation achieves $100 million in donations."
Based on the average cost of a wish, $40 million in donations has contributed to Make-A-Wish chapters granting more than 6,000 wishes and counting for children with life-threatening medical conditions. More information on the Wheels For Wishes mission is available at www.wheelsforwishes.org.
