How Can Buying a Vehicle Help Support Our Neighbors Battling Cancer?

At Nucar Vermont, we believe being a car dealership means more than just selling trucks and SUVs; it means being a pillar of support for the communities we call home. If you purchased a vehicle from us this past October, you helped drive a record-breaking achievement. We are incredibly proud to announce that our Nucar CDJR and Nucar Ford of St. Albans stores have raised our largest donation ever—$17,200—for the Jim Bashaw Cancer & Catastrophic Illness Fund at Northwestern Medical Center.

Driving Change Through Nucar Cares

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, we pledged a portion of the proceeds from every vehicle sold to this vital local cause. Thanks to the support of our customers, we were able to present a check for $17,200 on November 14, 2025.

This donation is a key part of our Nucar Cares initiative, which is deeply committed to enriching New England communities through initiatives supporting health, education, and community engagement. While we are passionate about cars, we are even more passionate about the people who drive them and the families who live here in Vermont.

About the Jim Bashaw Fund

Why did we choose this specific partner? The Jim Bashaw Cancer & Catastrophic Illness Fund provides critical support to residents of Franklin and Grand Isle Counties who are facing catastrophic health challenges.

A diagnosis can bring financial burdens that go far beyond medical bills. The fund assists families with necessary expenses that insurance often doesn’t cover, such as gas cards, ferry tickets, and lodging for those who need to travel for treatment. By helping cover these transportation and living costs, the fund allows patients to focus on what matters most: their recovery.

A Thank You to Our Community

This record-breaking donation would not have been possible without the trust and loyalty of our customers. When you choose to buy or lease a vehicle from Nucar, you aren’t just getting a great car; you are contributing to a network that actively supports vulnerable members of our community.

Whether you are looking for a new Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram, we invite you to visit us in St. Albans. Come see why we say, “Everyone loves a Nucar!”
