Hyundai Hope On Wheels is Coming to Northampton!

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Hyundai and its dealers' commitment to supporting the fight against pediatric cancer.  Since its inception in 2004, Hyundai Hope On Wheels, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has donated more than $10 million to institutions nation-wide to help kids fight cancer.  In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Hope On Wheels and Hyundai and its dealers have expanded the program to make a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's network of doctors engaged in pediatric cancer research.  The Hope On Wheels Tour will be represented at all 240 of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walks nationwide and will hold handprint ceremonies at select events.

Gary Rome Hyundai in Holyoke, MA has graciously teamed up with Hope On Wheels and will be attending the Northampton Light The Night Walk on Sunday, September 14th.  Gary Rome Hyundai will be providing a Hope On Wheels Santa Fe vehicle for the event to be used during the handprint ceremony as well as a pace car for the Walk.

If you are a child patient/survivor or you will be walking with one of these individuals, please contact Rebecca Longworth at Rebecca.Longworth@lls.org or 508-810-1318 to reserve your place in the handprint ceremony.
