Event Recaps

Recap of events held throughout the year to benefit the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center's Division of Pediatric Oncology

Hyundai Hope on Wheels

Hyundai dealers presented Dr. Eric Raabe in the Division of Pediatric Oncology with a check for $75,000 on July 11 at Johns Hopkins. Raabe has been selected as a 2012 Hyundai Scholar and the donation will support his research focusing on brain cancers.

Hyundai Hope on Wheels is the united effort of Hyundai Motor America and its more than 800 dealers across the U.S. to raise awareness about childhood cancer and to celebrate the lives of children battling the disease. Since the program’s inception in 1998, Hyundai has pledged $42 million for childhood cancer research in the U.S. Hyundai held a Handprint Ceremony to honor the brave children receiving treatment here, some of whom are with us today to add their handprints to the Hope on Wheels Hyundai Tucson.
