Since 1998, Hyundai Hope on Wheels has been unwavering in its support of families, researchers, doctors, and children affected by childhood cancer. Over the past two decades, this incredible initiative has donated more than $250 million nationwide, funding vital research and providing essential resources to those impacted by this devastating disease.
A Partnership in San Diego
This year, the San Diego Hyundai dealers are extending this legacy of compassion and support by partnering with the Emilio Nares Foundation. Their mission is clear and critical: ensuring no child misses life-saving treatment due to a lack of safe and reliable transportation. To help achieve this, the San Diego Hyundai dealers are proud to donate a 2024 Hyundai Palisade to the foundation, ensuring children in need have access to essential medical care.
The Emilio Nares Foundation: A Lifeline for Families
The Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF) was established to support families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer. Named in honor of Emilio Nares, who bravely fought Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), the foundation offers free transportation to low-income families, ensuring their children can attend crucial medical appointments. The flagship program, Ride With Emilio, provides safe, reliable rides to treatment centers, alleviating one of the significant burdens families face during their fight against cancer.
The Impact of the 2024 Hyundai Palisade
The donation of a 2024 Hyundai Palisade by the San Diego Hyundai dealers is more than just the provision of a vehicle; it’s a lifeline that enables countless families to access critical medical care. The Palisade, known for its safety, reliability, and spacious design, is perfectly suited to meet the needs of the Emilio Nares Foundation’s transportation program. With this generous gift, families can focus on what truly matters: their child’s health and well-being.
Message from Dalton Hyundai General Manager Garrett Mercer
“As the General Manager of our Dalton Hyundai, I am incredibly proud to support the Emilio Nares Foundation. Their mission to ensure that no child misses’ life-saving treatment due to a lack of transportation resonates deeply with us. By donating a 2024 Hyundai Palisade, we hope to make a tangible difference in the lives of these brave children and their families. The Emilio Nares Foundation provides an essential service to our community, and we are honored to contribute to their life-changing work.
