About Hyundai Hope On Wheels
Hyundai Hope On Wheels was created with one powerful mission: to help end childhood cancer. Every 36 minutes, a child in the U.S. is diagnosed with cancer, and continued research funding is critical to improving treatments, outcomes, and long-term survival.
Through research grants, hospital partnerships, awareness campaigns, and community support, Hyundai Hope On Wheels helps fund innovative pediatric cancer research at children’s hospitals and research institutions nationwide.

Why Pediatric Cancer?
Hyundai and its dealers are committed to Better products, Better service, and Better society. Through acts of better, we donate to charitable efforts to make benefit society. Kids are the future and they deserve every opportunity to grow, play and learn in a world free of pediatric cancer. Every 36 minutes a child is diagnosed with the disease in the US. Despite advancement in research, one in five diagnosed will not survive. Pediatric cancer is the leading disease related cause of death for US children. At HHOW, our goal is to fund pediatric cancer research, to drive innovative research and to create new discoveries that increase the survival rates of the disease.
Why Handprints?
Each year HHOW visits children’s hospitals across the U.S. to donate funds and raise awareness. During the event, we host our signature “Handprint Ceremony” which captures each child’s handprint in paint. These handprints are placed on Hyundai cars that travel across the country to build colorful awareness of the program.
The Handprints For Hyundai Hope On Wheels Represent:
- Kids who survived
- Kids who are fighting
- Kids whose memories live on
Because there is nothing more personal than a handprint, each is distinctive in its own way. By capturing the handprint, HHOW shares the stories, journeys and hopes of in the fight against the disease. Whether it’s completing a round of chemo, celebrating a beautiful new head of hair or receiving a clean bill of health, one child’s milestone can be another’s symbol of hope. And these handprints serve as our symbol.
Why Do We Fight to End Childhood Cancer?
It’s all about the kids. No child ever deserves to hear the words ‘you have cancer.’ HHOW is dedicated to supporting pediatric cancer research that finds innovative approaches, creates discovery, and improves care for children fight cancer. Working together with the physician-research community, we seek to find a day when no child loses his/her fight with cancer again.
In 2021, Hyundai Hope On Wheels will surpassed $185 million in donations to pediatric cancer research. In the years to come, we will continue to award additional grant dollars and to create greater awareness for the disease. And, we invite you to join our journey and help spread the word through your direct participation, personal involvement and social media activities to further awareness.
