In addition to Dr. Huynh’s recognition, the hospital’s cancer patients
will take part in the Hope on Wheels Handprint Ceremony, during which
they dip their hands in finger paint and apply their colorful
handprints to a white Hyundai Santa Fe. The car, which is covered in
children’s handprints from all over the country, is the symbol of
Hyundai Hope on Wheels.
“We are inspired every day by the brave children we meet at our
Handprint Ceremonies,” says Jared Hardin, dealer principal of Hardin
and Garden Grove Hyundai. “When the kids place their handprints on the
car, we are honoring their brave battles against cancer, commemorating
their triumphs and sharing their hope for the future with other
children and their families across the country.”
This is
Hyundai Hope on Wheels' 11th year of commitment to raising money for
childhood cancer research efforts. Hyundai and its dealers have donated
more than $12.4 million to children’s hospitals nationwide and
collected hundreds of handprints from children fighting childhood
cancer. More information and the complete list of 30 stops on the 2009
Hyundai Hope on Wheels Tour is available at hyundaihopeonwheels.org.
