For the same amount, we can also provide a month of lodging for one patient family, ensuring they have a safe place to stay during treatment. Additionally, your contribution can cover copay assistance for multiple treatment cycles for low-income patients, providing them the financial relief they desperately need. Every donation truly makes a difference in the lives of those battling cancer.
How we vet recipient partners
At RideRescue, we prioritize partnering with organizations that have proven track records of serving cancer patients effectively. We prefer to collaborate with partners aligned with reputable patient-assistance networks, ensuring they meet high standards of accountability. We evaluate their program ratios, focusing on organizations that dedicate a significant portion of their income directly to patient services rather than research funding. This commitment ensures your donations yield maximum impact for those in need.
How proceeds flow
After deducting towing and processing costs, approximately 70-80% of the gross proceeds from vehicle donations will support programs for cancer patients. This net amount is then allocated according to the partner's program ratio, ensuring that the majority of funds directly contribute to essential services for patients. Your donations truly help make a direct impact on local cancer care.

Local programs like those we fund are vital for supporting patients through their journey. With state-level funding often limited, your contributions help bridge these gaps, ensuring that every patient has the resources they need to fight cancer with dignity and hope.
