ACS seeks donation of vehicles

The end of the year is right around the corner. And for many, part of wrapping up 2007 means looking for last-minute tax deductions.

American Cancer Society representatives note an opportunity that will not only help with 2007 tax deductions, but also will raise funds needed to help the ACS achieve its mission.

The American Cancer Society's Vehicle Donation program, a yearround fund-raising event, allows patrons to donate their used car, truck, van, motorcycle or recreational vehicle to the ACS.

In turn, the vehicle is auctioned off with the proceeds assisting the American Cancer Society with funding for its educational programs and research.

The vehicle does not have to run, but it must have inflated tires and all vital parts in place.

The ACS will arrange for vehicle pick up at no charge to the owner.
