Gurnee Hyundai Proudly Supports Hyundai's Hope on Wheels.
Since 1998, Hyundai and its dealers have been committed to
supporting the fight against childhood cancer. What began in 1998 as a local
initiative supported by New England-area Hyundai dealers to raise funds for the
Jimmy Fund at Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has evolved into Hyundai
Hope on Wheels, an independent 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that is now
supported nationwide by Hyundai's 800+ dealers and Hyundai Motor America. Since
its inception, Hyundai Hope on Wheels has donated more than $23 million to
children's hospitals across the country to help kids fight cancer. Every time a
new Hyundai vehicle is sold in the U.S., a donation is made to Hope on Wheels.
The Hope on Wheels Tour is the united effort of Hyundai dealers across the
country to raise awareness about childhood cancer and celebrate the lives of
the courageous children battling the disease. In 2010, the Hope on Wheels Tour
traveled to 44 children's hospitals across the country and donated more than $2
million to support further training and research for doctors involved in
childhood cancer research. Hyundai Hope on Wheels designates the medical
professionals supported by these donations as Hyundai Scholars.
On September 16, 2011 Hyundai Hope on Wheels and Gurnee
Hyundai, along with other Chicagoland Hyundai dealers, participated in a Hope
on Wheels event at Cromer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago to
present $100,000 to help continue providing the best care possible to children
fighting this disease.Gurnee Hyundai is committed to continued support for Cromers Children
Hospital and helping find a cure.
