DONATE YOUR CAR

Who wants to sit in traffic when it's this beautiful outside!? Once again, you can donate your car through Zipcar's Bike Month Promotion. Donate your car and Zipcar will hook you up with a lifetime membership and $100 in driving credit.  WABA receives 70% of the sale price of each car that is auctioned and will thank you with a 1 yr membership or if you're a current member,  by a 1 yr extenstion.  

Take your spring cleaning to the next level by donating your car!

Call 1-888-ZIPGIVE for more information.  You can even donate online here.

Memorial or Tribute Gifts

Memorial donations can be made to WABA specifically "in memory of" loved ones, family members and friends, or those who have left a lasting impression.

Tribute/in honor of donations can be made to WABA “in honor” of a specific individual on a special occasion (such as a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or a milestone).

Memorial and honor/tribute donations can be made either through secure online donation (please see “online donation”, above) or by mailing a check directly to WABA with an explanatory note, including the name and address of the person being honored or memorialized.

Your donation will be announced in the next quarterly newsletter.

For more information about these and related planned giving programs, please talk with your estate or financial planning advisor.
