This year, Hyundai Automotive is celebrating the 10th anniversary of being involved with the fight against pediatric cancer. The involvement has grown by leaps and bounds in the last decade because it merely started out as a local initiative to raise funds for the Jimmy Fund in 1998. Since then, however, it has become a “nationwide program supported by all of Hyundai’s nearly 800 dealers.”
The actual Hyundai Hope on Wheels program, however, did not begin until 2004. It became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization recently and has donated more than $10 million to causes that are dedicated to helping kids fight cancer. The organization’s Medical Advisory Board has some of the leading cancer advocates on it, including Dr. David Poplack, Dr. Dan Wechsler and Dr. Leonard Sender.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary, the Hyundai Hope on Wheels is going to expand into helping the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s pediatric cancer research projects. Hyundai dealers nationwide will be involved in this initiative as well. Visit your Doylestown area Hyundai dealer today to see what you can do to help this important cause. While you’re there, you may even find a new or used car to take home with you, too.
