Turn Your Old Ride Into New Opportunities for Students and Storytellers at Alabama A&M

As Alabama A&M University continues to commemorate its 150th Anniversary, the University has announced a new partnership that turns unused vehicles – running or not – into support for a powerful cause. AAMU has teamed up with Arc Thrift Stores, Inc. – a Colorado-based nonprofit that operates the Vehicles for Charity program, to offer alumni and friends across the nation a meaningful way to give back.

“This initiative creates a new path for supporters to get involved in a unique way,” said Jamal Ali, Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Advancement. “WJAB showcases the voices, achievements, and stories of Alabama A&M. We’re excited about generating new funding through this win-win opportunity for the AAMU community.”

 

Whether your vehicle is old, new, working – or not – every donation counts. Vehicles in any condition are accepted, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, and more. There's no need to worry about repairs or towing. Vehicles for Charity handles everything – from free pickup to title transfers – at no cost to the donor.

 

Best of all, proceeds directly benefit WJAB Radio and TV, the University's public broadcast stations, supporting student training and original programming. Donors will also receive a confirmation and tax-deductable receipt for their gift.

 

 

Founded in 1991, WJAB 90.9 FM was the first 100,000-watt public radio station on an Alabama college campus. It remains the Tennessee Valley’s only full-time jazz station, and features a rich mix of jazz, blues, gospel and NPR programming. WJAB is also home to the Alabama A&M Sports Network and WJAB-TV, which provides students with hands-on experience in reporting, editing, and digital content creation.

 

Whether it rolls, rumbles, or just rests in the driveway – your vehicle donation helps amplify the voice of The Hill.
