The National Kidney Foundation is asking people to donate their used vehicle to its nationwide Kidney Car Program.

The foundation will arrange a free pick-up for your used vehicle or boat and then acknowledge your gift for tax deduction purposes. It may also be a convenient way to make a donation without having to come up with out-of-pocket funds. Donors should consult their tax advisors for details regarding their specific situations.

From kidney stones and urinary tract infections to prostate cancer and chronic kidney failure, 20 million Americans are affected by kidney and urinary tract disease each year.

For more information or to donate your vehicle, call 1-800-488-2277 today or logon to www.kidney.org.
