Palm Motor Legacy is dedicated to supporting cancer patients throughout Florida by providing essential services that address the significant challenges they face. Many patients struggle to access life-saving treatments due to transportation barriers, high medical costs, or the demands of caregiving. This program focuses on delivering direct support that helps alleviate some of these burdens, ensuring that patients receive the care they need without added stress.
Every dollar donated to our program can be leveraged to create immediate impact. By transforming vehicle donations into vital resources like gas cards, medical transport arrangements, and lodging during treatment, we strive to ensure that no cancer patient feels alone. With your support, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those battling cancer, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: their health and well-being.

↗Real impact, real numbers
With a donation of $1,500, you can fund approximately 50 round-trip rides to essential chemotherapy or radiation treatments for patients without reliable transportation. Alternatively, this amount can provide a month of lodging for one family during treatment, alleviating the stress of travel and accommodation. Even a $2,500 donation can cover copay assistance for multiple treatment cycles for low-income patients, significantly improving their access to necessary medical care. Your support creates substantial, lasting impact in the lives of those fighting cancer in our community.
How we vet recipient partners
At Palm Motor Legacy, we prioritize partnerships with organizations that demonstrate high accountability and a commitment to patient services. We prefer collaborating with nonprofits that are part of reputable patient-assistance networks, ensuring they provide direct support rather than funding research. Our vetting process involves reviewing program ratios to confirm that a significant portion of their funding is allocated to patient services and regularly assessing their transparency in reporting metrics on patients served.
How proceeds flow
After vehicle donation processing costs are covered, approximately 70-80% of gross proceeds are allocated to our partner organizations. Following this, the program ratio is applied, ensuring that the maximum possible funds are directed toward patient support services. This transparent approach allows donors to see how their contributions directly impact the lives of cancer patients in Florida.
