Drive for a Cure: Help End Childhood Cancer

Test drive in July. Celebrate in August. Together, we’re fueling hope for kids fighting cancer.

Two official causes. One local team.

Certified AutoBrokers American Cancer Society and Gold Together for childhood cancer logos in Grand Island NY

Ending childhood cancer takes a team. All month long, Certified AutoBrokers donates from every test drive toward childhood cancer research — and on August 7th, we cap it off with an all-ages celebration. Every ticket, every drive, and every dollar supports the American Cancer Society and its Gold Together program.

All July Long

Every Test Drive Is $50 Toward a Cure

Here's how Drive for a Cure works: every time you take a test drive at Certified AutoBrokers in July, you drop a key with your initials into our key box. At the end of the month, we count them up and donate $50 for every key to the American Cancer Society's Gold Together program. No purchase necessary — just get behind the wheel. Then on August 7th, we cap it off with our Accelerate Hope celebration.

Proven Impact

$12,750 Raised Last Year

It started with a goal and ended with a celebration. Surrounded by family, friends, and the entire Certified Team, we proudly presented a check for $12,750 to the Gold Together Initiative — every dollar raised through our Drive for a Cure campaign in Grand Island, NY. This year, we're aiming even higher with a $25,000 goal, and we'd love for you to be part of it.

For the Kids

The Reason We Drive

At the heart of every fundraiser are the kids we're fighting for. Young guests lit up the Gold Together photo backdrop with smiles, reminding everyone why childhood cancer research matters. This is a cause built around children, families, and the future they deserve.

Gold Together

Every Kid's a Superhero

Gold is the color of childhood cancer awareness — and our littlest supporters wore it proudly. The American Cancer Society's Gold Together program funds critical research, supports families through treatment, and works toward a future where no child has to face cancer. Together, we're standing strong for them.

For Everyone

Fun for the Whole Family

This was a celebration the entire community could be part of. Kids climbed and played on the American Cancer Society Relay for Life setup while parents looked on — proof that fighting childhood cancer can bring families together in the best possible way.
