Hyundai Hope, the corporate social responsibility arm of Hyundai Motor America, and Hyundai Hope on Wheels, a nonprofit focused on ending childhood cancer, have collectively donated $150,000 to the Memorial Health Dwaine and Cynthia Willett Children’s Hospital of Savannah. This donation supports both child passenger safety initiatives and pediatric cancer programs. The ceremonial checks were handed over at the hospital in Savannah, Georgia.
"Hyundai is dedicated to supporting the communities where we live and work, especially for the betterment of children’s health and well-being," said Brandon Ramirez, director of corporate social responsibility at Hyundai Motor North America and board member of Hyundai Hope on Wheels. "We are proud to continue our support of Children’s Hospital of Savannah and the impactful work being done for the Coastal Georgia area in regard to community safety and pediatric cancer."
Since 2022, Hyundai Hope has partnered with Children’s Hospital of Savannah to promote child safety through Safe Kids Savannah. This coalition aims to prevent injuries among children. Over this period, Hyundai has contributed $125,000 towards their Child Passenger Safety Program and driver education efforts. The latest donation will fund car seat safety checks conducted by certified technicians who ensure proper installation and check for recalls or expiration dates.
Brad Talbert, CEO of Memorial Health, expressed gratitude saying, "We are grateful to Hyundai and Hyundai Hope on Wheels for their generous donations to our Children’s Hospital of Savannah. Their continued support of the Safe Kids Savannah injury prevention program and our pediatric cancer program will benefit both our patients and our community and we appreciate their partnership."
