The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Department revealed three new license plates allowing drivers to ride in style for a good cause.
The charitable causes selected for the plates are Ovarian Cancer Awareness, Verde Valley Wine Trail and the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation.
“Specialty license plates offer a fun way to put that personal touch on a vehicle and show your proud support for one of these uniquely Arizona organizations,” MVD Director Eric Jorgensen said. “MVD is pleased to offer the various plates that will have an impact for the organizations dedicated to helping Arizona and our communities.”
Most specialty plates cost $25 each year. Of that amount, $17 goes to a designated charity or nonprofit group. During the fiscal year that ended June 30, sales of specialty plates contributed over $14.5 million for various causes and charities.
With the purchase of a specialty license plate, ADOT charges an additional $25 per year. Seventeen of those dollars will benefit the charity of your plate.
ADOT says in the previous fiscal year, $14.5 million dollars was donated to a number of charities and causes.
Below are the three new plates:
Verde Valley Wine Trail
This specialty plate is available to anyone and offered in a motorcycle format. $17 goes to support sustainable vineyard practices, promoting responsible driving initiatives, as well as inspiring more people to visit and discover the beauty of northern Arizona.
Ovarian Cancer Awareness
This specialty plate is available to anyone and also offered in a motorcycle format. $17 of the fee goes to support programs that provide education, resources and direct support services to ovarian cancer patients, survivors and caregivers.
Phoenix Mercury
This plate will be available to anyone and also offered in a motorcycle format. $17 goes to the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation, using the platform of basketball to provide resources and support that strengthen and unite communities across Arizona.
