What is Hyundai Hope on Wheels?
Before we get started on the racing portion of what Hyundai is doing to support Hope on Wheels, we want to explain what this program is! Hyundai Hope on Wheels is what Hyundai has done since 1998 to give back to the community by working to end childhood cancer. How does this work, you ask? With every new Hyundai that is sold, a portion of that money goes toward research specifically for childhood cancer, and since beginning this program, over $300 million has been donated. This money has helped save over 40,000 kids, which is the kind of figure we know everyone can get behind. Hyundai Hope on Wheels is saying that enough is enough, and Hyundai wants to do everything in its power to save our children!
