Hyundai Hope on Wheels 

September marked Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and the 25th anniversary of Hyundai Hope On Wheels‘ impactful campaign. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by Hyundai Motor America, Hope On Wheels presented 88 research and programmatic grants this year to eligible institutions across the U.S. focused on improving pediatric cancer outcomes.

We are absolutely thrilled to share that UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital San Francisco has been awarded both a $400,000 Hyundai Scholar Hope Grant and a $250,000 Hyundai Young Investigator Grant! The Scholar Hope Grant, awarded over two years, will support critical translational research projects. The Young Investigator Grant, also two years, will empower innovative research initiatives.

We specifically congratulate our very own Dr. Amit Sabnis and Dr. Robert Lindquist, esteemed recipients of these awards. Their expertise, paired with Hyundai Hope On Wheel’s generous funding, will accelerate our understanding and treatment of pediatric cancers. To date, Hyundai Hope On Wheels has contributed $225 million in their mission to end childhood cancer.

On behalf of our entire organization, thank you Hyundai Hope on Wheels for your tremendous support!
