Car Donations are fast and easy in 2005 with a charity vehicle donation program. Donate cars, trucks, vans, boats, planes, even lots and real estate. Your auto donation is as easy as a phone call or a simple online form. Call or click: 800-269-6814 or Donate Online.
How car donations work? When you pledge your automobile donation, the Vehicle Donation Processing Center takes the donor information over the telephone, and handles all of the documents, vehicle donation pick up, charity auction sale and distribution of the proceeds to the charity. We guarantee payment of all expenses with your car donations. Donate a car to free yourself from the hassles of selling and give something to your community at the same time.

Your cash donations will be used for one or more of the following programs or services requested by hospitals and or families. America's Baby Cancer Foundation is run by families who lost children and others to cancer. The organization distributes approximately 93% of funds brought in to families with children with cancer.
Liang Liang Fund & The Little Angel Fund
The first $50,000 will be transferred to the Chinese Red Cross to pay for the stem cell transplant in Beijing for Liang Liang. Liang Liang is a 14 year old boy who is suffering from Leukemia. Liang Liang's father attempted suicide thinking that his death and the sale of his organs would pay for his sons treatment. Luckily the father was found quickly and lives to see his son's treatment begin. Additional funds from this project will be split evenly between America's Baby Cancer Foundation for use in programs to provide early diagnosis and treatment of cancer in children and the Chinese Red Cross' Little Angel Fund to provide similar early diagnosis and treatment of cancer in children.

Buy a Gift
Toys and other personal items purchased for children ages 0 months to 19 years. Gifts are distributed on specific dates celebrated by each participating hospital ("Sebastian's Gift Giving Day", August 30 - Miller Children's Hospital) and the Holidays from Thanksgiving through New Years at numerous hospitals.
Support a Family
Requests from hospitals to cover items of expense for families dealing with a child in treatment for cancer.
Requests generally come from Social Service Case Workers who have exhausted all other avenues of funding through government or other available Foundation resources. Items most often requested are airline tickets, hotels, rental cars; cash to cover mortgages, car payments, utilities, food, copayments, noncovered copayment for pharmaceutical protocols, and other medical equipment (i.e., wheel chairs), moral support, guidance and information. This could also cover mileage for a volunteer to transport families who do not or cannot drive to treatment.
Games -The request for new or replacement equipment from hospitals. This includes Playstation, Playstation2, Nintendo Gamecube, and X-box, with Nintendo 64 as the 1 per bed leader in most hospitals. Entertainment equipment such as this is not generally a budgeted line item for hospital management. Most hospitals are dependent upon foundations and other volunteer organizations for such entertainment resources. Currently America's Baby Cancer Foundation, the Digital Coast Roundtable and its affiliated associations throughout Southern California are conducting a drive to raise funds for and collect new and pre-owned game equipment for distribution to Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach and various Kaiser Permanente facilities in Southern California. To date we have donated 10 units to local hospitals.
Education - Dragonfly Theatre is a multimedia educational program currently in production by America's Baby Cancer Foundation. This program is being designed by parents and healthcare professionals to address in simple terms the many faces of cancer and accepted protocols. Drafgonfly Theatre will be offered to all hospitals for distribution to parents of newly diagnosed children and to families who are required to change treatment protocols free of charge. At this time the Foundation is seeking major sponsors to fund the content segments for each cancer.
Research - We support a number of institutions who currently are in clinical trials or are doing important research.
The foundation is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Tax ID # 95-4843437.
