CARLISLE AUCTIONS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
Carlisle Auctions and its parent company Carlisle Events have been a central PA staple since 1974. Over the years, Carlisle Auctions has fostered and championed a variety of causes, many of which support local or regional individuals, groups, or organizations. Two such current programs are outlined below.
Fund the Firehouse
"We are Here to Serve Those Who Serve Us"
Donate Your Old or Unwanted Vehicle and Support YOUR Local Firehouse
Call 717-960-6400 Today
Fund The Firehouse is looking for your vehicle donation to support YOUR local First Responder organization. To date, Fund The Firehouse has raised nearly $65,000 providing vital, direct support to volunteer fire companies, helping them secure the essential equipment, gear, and training needed to keep local communities like yours safe. With our Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction on the horizon (October 1-2, 2026), this is your chance to make a difference! If you have a vehicle you no longer need or want, please consider donating it to Fund The Firehouse. Call 717-960-6400 to learn how you can donate a vehicle or memorabilia and make a difference in your community by supporting those who support you in times of emergency and need.
What is Fund the Firehouse
- YOUR DONATION CAN SAVE LIVES!
- Donating your vehicle to Fund The Firehouse is simple and easy with zero cost to the donor
- Your generous donation is 100% tax deductible as you are supporting a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
- YOU choose the 1st responder organization you want your vehicle to benefit
- Your vehicle will sell at no reserve as a "charity car" during one of our Collector Car Auction events
- 100% of the proceeds from the sale of your vehicle will be donated directly to the organization you designate where it can make an impact right in your own local community!
(Multiple First Reponsder Organizations Have Generiously Benefitted Since the Inception of Fund the Firehouse)
Charity Cars
(A vehicle ear-marked for Charity can also be donated and YOU can identify what or who that Charity is)
Much like Fund the Firehouse, Carlisle Auctions will work with you to auction a vehicle, memorabilia, etc. to donate to a charity of your choice. This could be a homeless shelter, food bank, animal rescue, etc. All you've got to do is call 717-960-6400 and let our team know who you'd like to support with your donation.
- Charity sales are available to execute at every Carlisle Auctions event
- Charity sales mean $0 in fees for the seller
- 100% of the Charity sale price plus a portion of the buyers fee goes to a designated charity

Supporting Community CARES
At Carlisle Auctions, we believe our connection to the community extends beyond collector cars and the auction block. We are proud to support organizations that make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us, including Community CARES, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals and families facing homelessness in Cumberland County.
Through emergency shelter, supportive services, outreach efforts, and connections to essential resources, Community CARES works to provide hope, stability, and a path forward for those experiencing difficult circumstances. Their mission is centered on compassion, dignity, and creating opportunities for people to regain independence and build a brighter future.
Carlisle Auctions is honored to support the important work being done by Community CARES and the impact they continue to make within our community. By partnering with organizations like Community CARES, we are able to extend our reach beyond the auction experience and help strengthen the communities we proudly call home.
Together, we can make a difference — one person, one family, and one community at a time. Get full details on how you can support Community Cares online now or call Carlisle Auctions at 717-960-6400 to make an impact!
