Revive the Ride is dedicated to supporting cancer patients throughout New Jersey by providing essential services that alleviate the burden of treatment. Our focus is on enhancing patient well-being through transportation, lodging, and financial assistance, ensuring that no one faces their cancer journey alone.
When you donate a vehicle, your contribution is transformed into critical resources for those in need. A single vehicle can fund dozens of rides to treatments, secure lodging for families during critical times, or provide financial relief for copays, allowing patients to concentrate on their health rather than financial stress.

↗Real impact, real numbers
With your support, a donation of $1,500 can facilitate approximately 50 round-trip rides to chemotherapy or radiation for patients without reliable transportation. Alternatively, it can cover a month of lodging for a family during treatment or provide copay assistance that supports multiple treatment cycles for low-income patients. Your giving can create waves of relief and hope, allowing patients to focus on recovery without the added stress of logistical challenges.
How we vet recipient partners
At Revive the Ride, we prioritize transparency and accountability in our partnerships. We collaborate with organizations that are vetted through established networks focused on patient support services. This includes those that emphasize high program ratios, ensuring that the majority of funds go directly to patient services rather than administrative costs. We regularly review the metrics on patients served to maintain a transparent giving environment.
How proceeds flow
After towing and processing costs, typically 70-80% of gross vehicle sale proceeds are allocated to our partner organizations that provide these vital cancer patient support services. These funds are then applied according to the respective program ratios, ensuring that your donation effectively reaches those in need and makes a real difference in their treatment journey.
New Jersey recipient landscape
New Jersey has a unique landscape of needs when it comes to cancer support services. With a high population density and diverse communities, the demands for reliable transportation, lodging, and financial assistance are significant. Local programs are designed to address these challenges, ensuring that patients have access to necessary resources throughout their treatment. The current state-level funding landscape often falls short, making private donations essential in bridging these gaps.
