PHOENIX — KTAR’s community spotlight this month focuses on Hyundai Motor Company in Arizona, which plays a big role in supporting research through funding to one Valley pediatric hospital.
Hyundai’s initiative to help fight pediatric cancer is a continuous effort.
In its 15th year of participating in KTAR News’ annual Give-A-Thon Week, the motor company has no plans of slowing its roll.
This year’s 16th annual Give-A-Thon fundraising event will take place Aug. 12-16, to directly bolster Phoenix Children’s Hope Fund.
“It’s phenomenal,” Adam Breen, general manager for San Tan Hyundai, told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Arizona’s Morning News. “We know how much the hospital does for our local community.”
With the purchase of a Hyundai vehicle in Arizona, a donation will be made to Phoenix Children’s.
To date, the company has donated over $1 million to the Arizona children’s hospital.
The nationwide Hyundai Hope on Wheels program initiative goes past fundraising for a single season, as a portion of every Hyundai vehicle purchased goes to grants to local hospitals to fund research across the country.
