We are pleased that Hyundai Hope on Wheels will be the title sponsor of the 5K portion of the Chicago Half Marathon. 

The 5K Run/Walk race, one of three nationally, is part of our ongoing efforts to raise both awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research during September - National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.  Hyundai President and CEO, John Krafcik, will run in the 5K Run/Walk race.   

 Please see this short video clip “Are you in?” from our National Youth Ambassador, CJ George, as he announces the 5K Series and shares a few words about his own battle with cancer -

We invite you to become a part of ‘Team Hyundai Hope on Wheels,’ by joining our 5K Race/Walk team.  To do so, simply join the 5K race at www.HyundaiRun4Hope.org (be sure to specify the Chicago race!).

 A Commitment to Finding a Cure

We appreciate your support in making Hyundai Hope On Wheels one of the leading pediatric cancer nonprofit organizations in the country.  By the end of this year, we will have awarded $57 million in research for childhood cancer.  Since 1998, over 500 separate grants have been awarded by Hope on Wheels, providing life saving research for children.  Our goal is simple: we help kids fight cancer.  And, we won’t stop until there is a cure.

As a reminder of the reality of our challenge, two of the children who participated in Central Region Hope on Wheels events last year, passed away this year. 

Please help support this important charity.  Donations are tax deductable.  I am counting on you and your dealership team’s assistance and support to make this a huge success. 

Additional information is provided below.  Thanks in advance for your support!
