MADD partnership in the national car donation campaign generates funding and helps raise public awareness about the benefits of donating a vehicle

WESTCHESTER, IL -- Dec. 4, 2014: Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. (IAA), a business unit of KAR Auction Services , and the leading live and live-online salvage auto auction company, announced that Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) has become a benefactor partner of the One Car One Difference® program, IAA's public awareness campaign aimed to support vehicle donations to charities nationwide. As the nation's largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking, MADD's vehicle donation program, "One Good Turn," will raise funds to support its mission to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking.

"MADD's One Good Turn program provides the public an easy and cost-effective way to help us keep families and roadways safe by donating their used vehicles," said Jan Withers, MADD National President. "It's truly a beautiful picture of how a vehicle can do so much good for people whose lives have been changed forever by a drunk driving crash."

MADD selected IAA's Donation Division as its national vehicle donation partner in May 2014. Through the partnership, IAA has managed MADD's vehicle donation program, "One Good Turn," which helps turn donated vehicles into charity dollars to help support MADD's programs in the community. Every vehicle donated through One Car One Difference® will be sold at auction by IAA, which has provided complete processing services for nonprofit organizations to sell donated vehicles at auction since 1994.

MADD's vehicle donation program accepts any vehicle running or not, including cars, trucks, vans, boats and recreational vehicles, and all donations may be eligible for a tax deduction on one's federal income tax return. A MADD vehicle donation through One Car One Difference® helps MADD's mission to fight drunk driving and improve the awareness and technology needed to prevent drunk driving.

"IAA offers nonprofit organizations such as MADD an opportunity to maximize their impact and help generate much needed funds to raise awareness about the benefits of donating a vehicle," said John Kett, CEO and president, Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. "We are excited to partner with MADD and provide their donors with the special opportunity to give back to the public and make a difference through vehicle donation."

Founded in 1980, MADD is one of the most widely supported nonprofit organizations in America. Known for its heart for victims and grassroots advocacy to fight drunk driving, MADD expanded its lifesaving work by adding the prevention of underage drinking in 1999. MADD's efforts are supported by local, state and federal governments, corporations, educators, think tanks, the media and the general public. Their work has saved over 300,000 lives to date.
