Hyundai Hope On Wheels
Today’s D.O.W. is posponed to allow the next post in our (Saturday) series for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Hyundai Hope On Wheels. Since 1998, Hyundai and its dealers have been committed to supporting the fight against childhood cancer.
What started as an local New England-area fundraiser has evolved into Hyundai Hope on Wheels, an independent nonprofit organization which is supported nationwide by all of Hyundai’s 800-plus dealers and Hyundai Motor America.
At the end of 2010, Hyundai Hope on Wheels will have donated more than $23 million to children’s hospitals nationwide to help kids fight cancer. Every time a new Hyundai vehicle is sold in the U.S., $5 is donated to Hope on Wheels.
During this month, Hyundai Motor America and its dealers will donate $6.8 million to Hope on Wheels. They launched “Hyundai Gives Hope on Wheels” in Washington, D.C. and are embarkingmg on a national tour to distribute the funds in the form of “Hope Grants” in the amount of $100,000 each to 68 hospitals and other nonprofit organizations around the country that conduct childhood cancer research and/or provide support to children with cancer.
