Hyundai dealers and Hyundai Motor America wanted a way to gear up support of a cause that we feel passionate about: pediatric cancer research and treatment. We also wanted to give back to the communities in which we live and do business. So we created Hyundai Hope On Wheels to do both.
Hyundai joined the fight against pediatric cancer in 1998 through the efforts of Boston-area Hyundai dealers and their donations benefiting the Jimmy Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Since that time, Hyundai dealers have been Helping Kids Fight Cancer with corporate contributions of over $7 million to hospitals across the country.
The more than 700 U.S. Hyundai dealers decided they could make an even greater impact if they took their message on the road. So in February 2004, the message went mobile, with a Hyundai SUV serving as a tangible, traveling symbol of hope on a journey across the country with the mission of Helping Kids Fight Cancer.
In 2005, we expanded our commitment to the cause even further by partnering with CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation. Our alliance with CureSearch, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancer, helps us take our message of hope to additional hospitals throughout America and helps raise more awareness for this important cause.
The great kids featured on this site are just a few of the thousands who share a common battle: the fight against pediatric cancer.
