IRVINE, Calif. -

Kelley Blue Book’s parent company Cox Enterprises recently expanded its longstanding relationship supporting Girls Inc., a nonprofit that inspires girls to be strong, smart, and bold.

To celebrate Women’s History Month, Kelley Blue Book worked with Charitable Adult Rides & Services — or CARS — to launch a campaign helping Girls Inc. and other nonprofits making a difference in the lives of girls and women.

Consumers, from now through the end of March, can donate a vehicle past its prime to Girls Inc. or other nonprofits.

Those vehicles will turn into funds for programs that promote girl power.

Consumers can choose to donate almost any type of vehicle, such as cars, trucks, boats, RVs or other vehicles.

CARS seeks to accept every vehicle donation regardless of condition and offers free pick-up and towing. Kelley Blue Book and CARS have raised more than $3.2 million for nonprofits nationwide since they first partnered in 2017.

Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book senior vice president Jessica Stafford said that with vehicle donation, people can easily give to an organization.

“It's a win-win opportunity, especially for people offloading an older vehicle with little value left who may not want to hassle with trying to sell it on their own,” Stafford said in a news release.

Stafford also said, “Beyond the tax benefits and ease of the process of donating a used vehicle through CARS, people can feel good about giving to worthy nonprofit organizations like Girls Inc. that make a difference in the lives of girls and families in their community and beyond.”

Cox Enterprises’ recent expansion of its relationship supporting Girls Inc. includes a national partnership, as Cox said the nonprofit's mission aligns well with Cox’s values to support inclusion, diversity, and promotion of women.

Girls Inc.’s mission also aligns with Cox’s focus on STEM-related causes.

Through year-round programming, experiences and activities that allow girls to explore, ask questions, persist, and solve problems, Girls Inc. encourages STEM learning.

Girls interact with those pursuing STEM careers and go on to view those careers as exciting and realistic options for themselves, according to CARS.

As of 2020, Cox is national sponsor of STEM and college and career readiness for Girls Inc.

Information is available on how to donate a vehicle to benefit Girls Inc. or another organization.
