FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., September 27, 2022 #hyundaihopeonwheels, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by #hyundai Motor America and its more than 820 U.S. dealers, today announced the 2022 winners of its annual research and programmatic grants totaling $15 million. This year, #hyundaihopeonwheels will present a total of 75 grants to institutions across the United States that are focused on improving outcomes and treatments for children diagnosed with cancer, including 25 #hyundai Scholar Hope Grants at $300,000 each, 25 #hyundai Young Investigator Grants at $200,000 each, and 25 #hyundai Impact Grants at $100,000 each.

“We are honored to present this year’s grant winners with funds to perform their lifesaving work and continue to bring hope to the brave pediatric cancer fighters and their families across the nation," said John Guastaferro, executive director, #hyundaihopeonwheels. "This year’s theme is ‘Powered by Hope,’ paying homage to the children battling cancer who inspire our organization’s mission and to the doctors and researchers dedicated to finding a cure for the disease. Congratulations to this year's grant award winners and we thank you for sharing in the commitment to ensure that every child battling cancer has a fighting chance.”

Since its inception in 1998, #hyundaihopeonwheels has awarded more than 1,100 research grants funding critical research to help save young lives. This year marks Hyundai’s 24th consecutive year in the fight against childhood cancer, making it one of the longest-running #corporate social responsibility efforts in the #automotive industry and a leading funder of pediatric cancer research in the country.

The #hyundai Scholar Hope Grants and the #hyundai Young Investigator Grants are awarded to eligible Children's Oncology Group (COG) member institutions through a competitive peer-reviewed process. Applications are reviewed by the #hyundaihopeonwheels Medical Advisory Committee, which is comprised of leading pediatric oncologists from children's hospitals and research institutions nationwide. The #hyundai Impact Grants provide funding to children's hospitals for either childhood cancer research projects or programmatic initiatives such as clinical care.

This year, select grants will be officially presented during a #hyundaihopeonwheels Handprint Ceremony, the nonprofit’s signature event in which children impacted by cancer dip their hands in paint and place their handprints on a #hyundai vehicle, symbolizing their fight against pediatric cancer and hope for a cure.
