Alice Cooper, US Army license plates among 5 new choices to support charity
(ADOT)

INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
Arizona has added five new license plates to its list of specialty options designed to assist charitable causes.
The Arizona Department of Transportation announced the five new plates Thursday. They include Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock, Arizona Realtor Homes for All, Cancer Support for Families, Diné College Warriors and U.S. Army.
“We know that people who choose specialty license plates for their vehicles take pride in displaying their connection to these community organizations,” Motor Vehicles Director Eric Jorgensen said. “MVD is pleased that we can partner with the various organizations dedicated to helping Arizonans.”
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 more $12 million for various causes and charities.
Specialty plates are authorized by the Arizona Legislature and have been offered since 1989. Plate designs complete a review by ADOT and law enforcement. Personalization can be added for an additional $25 per year.
In addition to the five new plates, Arizona Coyotes and the Families of Fallen Police Officers plates have been redesigned.
Here is information about the five news plates:
Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock
This speciality plate supports free art, music and dance programs for all youth at Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers in Phoenix and Mesa. The designated $17 goes to provide a safe space for all teens ages 12-20 to spend time, receive positive mentorship and free music, art, dance, photography and recording studio lessons and opportunities.
Arizona Realtors Homes for All
Proceeds go to the Arizona REALTORS Foundation for Housing and Community Outreach to help Arizona communities establish housing projects.
Cancer Support for Families
This specialty plate’s proceeds go to Cancer Support Community Arizona’s emotional and social support services.
Diné College Warriors
Proceeds support the educational pursuits and success of students at Diné College on the Navajo Nation.
U.S. Army
This specialty plate is available to anyone, with proceeds going toward scholarships for children of soldiers and spouses of active-duty enlisted soldiers.
Drivers who have Arizona Coyotes and Families of Fallen Police Officers plates may request the new designs for a $5 replacement fee plus postage. The previous designs remain valid.
