At Sooner Auto Ally, we are committed to supporting cancer patients in Oklahoma by providing essential services that alleviate the burdens they face during treatment. Your donations enable us to offer critical assistance such as transportation to treatment facilities, copay help, and lodging for families in need. By addressing these immediate challenges, we can ensure that patients focus on what truly matters: their health and recovery.
Every dollar contributed to our cause is a dollar leveraged to provide significant support. For example, your vehicle donation can cover transportation costs for patients traveling to and from chemotherapy or radiation appointments. With your help, we bridge the gap for those struggling to afford necessary treatments and resources, creating a lasting impact on the lives of families in our community.

↗Real impact, real numbers
Your generous donations can create tangible change in the lives of cancer patients. For every $1,500 raised, we can fund approximately 50 round-trip rides for patients without reliable transportation to their chemotherapy or radiation appointments. Alternatively, this amount can cover a full month's lodging for a patient and their family during treatment or provide copay assistance for multiple cycles of care for low-income individuals. With $2,500, the impact doubles, allowing us to extend our reach and support to even more patients in need. Together, we can make a substantial difference in the lives of those fighting cancer in Oklahoma.
How we vet recipient partners
We take our commitment to transparency and accountability seriously. To ensure that the nonprofit partners we work with are trustworthy and effective, we prefer to collaborate with organizations that have been vetted through established patient assistance networks. These organizations typically have a high percentage of funds allocated directly to patient services, rather than research, and provide clear reporting on the number of patients served. This rigorous vetting process ensures that donor contributions make a real impact where it’s needed most.
How proceeds flow
When you choose to donate your vehicle to Sooner Auto Ally, approximately 70-80% of the gross proceeds from the sale after towing and processing costs directly benefit our partner programs. This net amount is then distributed to programs supporting cancer patients, applying a high program ratio to ensure that the majority of funds go directly to services and support for those in need. Your donation is thus a vital source of assistance for local cancer patients.
Oklahoma recipient landscape
In Oklahoma, cancer is a significant health concern, with many patients facing challenges in accessing necessary treatments and support. Local programs funded by your donations aim to address these gaps, providing essential resources like transportation and lodging that many families struggle to afford. Unfortunately, state-level funding for direct patient support services remains limited, making our efforts through Sooner Auto Ally even more critical. Together, we can create a robust support network for cancer patients in our community.
