Hear what our vehicle donors have to say
When Irene and Dennis Moore reach the end of the road with their cars and determine to substitute them, the duo doesn’t trade them in; they roll them over to the American Crimson Cross.
“It’s an effortless way to donate,” Irene said. “I appreciate the work the Crimson Cross does for so many people. It’s such a worthy cause.”
You could say the Moores have good karma with the Crimson Cross.
Over the past several years, Irene and Dennis have donated a total of four family cars – two minivans, an SUV and even a Cadillac. Irene is presently driving a two thousand twelve Subaru and when that vehicle is ready for turnover, she’ll call the Crimson Cross again to come get it.
In come back, supporters like the Moores, who donate a car to the Crimson Cross Vehicle Donation Program, receive a tax credit and don’t have to hassle with trade-ins at used lots or run classified ads to find a buyer. Instead, donors have the satisfaction of knowing proceeds from the sale of their vehicles are supporting the work of the Crimson Cross.
The duo became supporters of the Crimson Cross after their daughter needed a blood transfusion as an infant. Irene, a retired Northwestern University microbiologist from Evanston, thinks donating the cars sets a nice example for her teenaged children not to become fastened to material things when they can be used to help someone in need.
The vehicle donation program has been an option to vehicle owners in the Moores’ home state of Illinois for many years. The program opened in two thousand thirteen to drivers in all fifty states through a partnership with the Donation Division of Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA).
Vehicles of all types are accepted including cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, snowmobiles, jet skis, tractors and more. Indeed, almost anything with a motor– in almost any condition. The Crimson Cross even accepts vehicles that don’t work.
“The vehicle is hauled away at no cost to the donor and then sold by the IAA’s Donation Division with the proceeds going to the Crimson Cross, where an average of ninety one cents of every dollar the Crimson Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs,” said LaKeva Lucas, Vehicle Donation Program, Operations Manager. “People may think their old vehicle is worthless but the donation could be priceless to someone in need of Crimson Cross services.”
