Donate Your Car
Pink Ribbon Connection now accepts your donated vehicle! Just call our office at 317-255-7465 and let us know you want to donate your car to Pink Ribbon Connection. We will then call our towing partner, Hanna's Wrecker Service, and a representative will call you and make an appointment to pick up your car. They will come, with identification, at your convenience, to tow the car to their lot. They hold regular car auctions and will auction off the car, with the proceeds donated to Pink Ribbon Connection.
You will receive a tax receipt for the amount your car sells for at the auction. The receipt will be mailed to you by Pink Ribbon Connection. Every cent of the money stays right here in Central Indiana to assist breast cancer patients and their families with support, resources and information.
