What are partners are saying...
“Our vehicle donation program through CARS raises more than one of our 9-day fund drives – with minimal on-air spots and promotion. We have a great working relationship with our reps at CARS, and they help Cincinnati Public Radio fulfill our mission every day with less fundraising.”
Sherri Mancini,
Vice President of Development, Cincinnati Public Radio“We love your car donation graphics and all of the materials in the content portal. Thank you for making it so easy to promote car donations!”
