Hyundai Hope On Wheels Handprint Ceremony, Scott Fink helped present St.Joseph's Children's Hospital with the $50,000

Today at the Hyundai Hope On Wheels Handprint Ceremony, Scott Fink helped present St.Joseph's Children's Hospital with the $50,000 Hyundai Impact Grant for pediatric cancer research to help end childhood cancer. Hope On Wheels is the united effort of Hyundai Motor America and its 820+ Hyundai dealers across the U.S. committed to helping kids fight cancer. Every time a new Hyundai vehicle is sold in the U.S., that Hyundai dealer makes donation to Hope On Wheels. Since 1998, Hyundai Hope On Wheels has committed more than $100 million to children’s hospitals and organizations nationwide to help kids fight cancer.

The Hope On Wheels program is the united effort of all Hyundai dealers across the country to raise awareness about childhood cancer and celebrate the lives of the courageous children battling the disease. Each year, Hope On Wheels visits children’s hospitals across the country to donate funds to support further training and study for doctors involved in childhood cancer research. Hyundai Hope On Wheels designates these medical professionals as Hyundai Scholars.

The symbol of the Hope On Wheels program is a white Hyundai Santa Fe Sport covered with colorful handprints representing childhood cancer patients from all over the country. The Hope On Wheels Handprint Ceremony celebrates the courage of childhood cancer patients by capturing their colorful handprints on the white Santa Fe Sport; children attending each donation ceremony are asked to lend a hand and place their own handprints on the car to commemorate their battles with cancer. Why handprints? Because there's nothing more personal than a handprint – and the goal of Hope On Wheels is to share the personal triumphs of each of these children with other childhood cancer patients and their families across the country. Whether it's completing a round of chemo, celebrating a beautiful new head of hair or catching a fly ball, one childhood cancer patient’s milestone can be another's symbol of hope.
