WE FIGHT FOR THE
MOMENTS AHEAD
Have Hope
Have lots of hope. Discovery is the enemy of pediatric cancer, and Hyundai Hope On Wheels funds discovery – awarding major grants to research centers actively investigating treatments and cures. By the end of 2017, $130 million will have been awarded to groundbreaking research institutes across the country.
Every time a Hyundai vehicle is purchased, Hyundai and its U.S. dealers make a donation to Hyundai Hope On Wheels.
How We Create Hope
Hyundai is one of the largest private funders of research into pediatric cancer. Hyundai Hope On Wheels awards financial support – in specific fields of research – to Children’s Oncology Group member institutions. Our mission is to find a cure for childhood cancer one handprint at a time. This highly-regarded program seeks to expand the knowledge base for pediatric cancer – and to improve the standards of care. In 2016 alone, Hyundai Hope On Wheels presented more than $13 million in research grants across the United States. Grants can range from $50 thousand to $1 million, and more.
Featured Grant:
Wendy Allen-Rhoades, MD, Pediatric Oncologist, focusing on dissecting and targeting Integrin-mediated signaling in Ewing sarcoma metastasis.

FEATURED GRANT RECIPIENT

Discovery Is The Reason To Hope
Hyundai supports the finest minds in pediatric cancer research. These doctors and research scientists are the human faces of hope – to affected children and their families. Hyundai Hope On Wheels supports translational research (working directly with child cancer patients), research on low-survival cancers, research in an institution’s core pursuit and research that explores the underlying biology of childhood cancer. Grant winners are selected by a rigorous scientific review panel of physicians.
The Children Give Us All Hope
Each day, 43 families in the United States find out that their child has cancer. Cancer’s impact on children can be devastating, but there is reason for hope. Now, thankfully more than 80% of children with cancer survive. And, with our support, member institutions of the Children’s Oncology Groups of America are working toward the day when no child ever dies from pediatric cancer. Children deserve to grow, learn and play in a world free of this disease. These are their stories of hope.
