Hyundai Hope On Wheels for CHKD
August 27, 2010
Wednesday August 25th was the kickoff presentation to the Hyundai Hope On Wheels event. All of our Hall Hyundai General Managers; Nick Vendt, Michael Komives, and William Rodgers attended this touching event.
Cancer patients at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters covered their palms with paint and then gave a H…yundai Santa Fe a custom paint job of sorts. Hyundai dealers in Hampton Roads presented a $40,000 check to the Norfolk children’s hospital as part of the company’s national Hope On Wheels effort. “You know cancer kids, they are so often put in this box and told that it’s something to be sad about, you have to be depressed and sad about your diagnosis, but the thing is we’re just normal people,” said 18-year-old Preston Heinlein.
$5 is added to the Hope on Wheels program each time a new Hyundai is sold…LETS SELL THOSE HYUNDAI’S. The company hopes to donate as much as $6 million to childhood cancer research. The cure rate for childhood lukemia is up to 80% now. “And it’s all using drugs that have been available for years – just learning how to better use them, how to better manage them, how to combine them all through cooperative research that just takes years to do,” explained pediatric oncologist Dr. Eric Lowe. The money will be used to support Dr. Lowe’s resarch on using technology to improve compliance with chemotheraphy protocols with the hope of improving survival.

Hall Chevrolet Western Branch Donates More Than $3,300 in Cash and Sports Equipment to Churchland Little League
Hall Chevrolet Western Branch, one of 15 Chevrolet dealers from the Norfolk area that partnered with local youth baseball leagues for the 2010 baseball season, raised nearly $49,500 in total donations from the dealership and private parties. In addition to monetary support, Hall Chevrolet Western Branch provided Churchland Little League with equipment donations, an opportunity to raise and keep up to $10,000 through a unique fundraiser, and participation in a baseball clinic led by Ripken Baseball.
“Chevrolet has a long history with baseball and we’re glad we were able to bring that commitment to our youth leagues in Chesapeake where our customers and their families live, work, and play,” said Steve Havens General Manager for Hall Chevrolet Western Branch. “The instructional clinic was the highlight of the season for many of the kids. They had a blast and, frankly, we did too.”
Hall Chevrolet Western Branch partnered with the Churchland Little League because of their proximity to the dealership. Equipment donated by Hall Chevrolet Western Branch included equipment bags, ball buckets, coach’s clipboards and t-shirts. In addition, the dealership helped donate either a Chevy Malibu or a Chevy Equinox to be used as a fundraiser by the league. The winner of the fundraiser got to choose one of the two vehicles.
“We are delighted to be involved with the American tradition of youth baseball,” said Havens. “Sponsoring Churchland Little League gave us the opportunity to illustrate our commitment to the youth and families in Chesapeake and we’re glad to have achieved such positive outcome for the community.”
In 2010, more than 980 Chevrolet dealers participated in Chevy Youth Baseball and helped raise more than $3 million for youth baseball programs across the USA. Now in its fifth year, more than $11 million has been contributed to youth baseball in the communities where Chevrolet’s customers live, work, and play.

The Greatest Comeback Story in U.S. History!
July 28, 2010
Mad Money TV Program’s Jim Cramer said that Ford is “the greatest turnaround story in American history.”
Ford CEO Alan Mulally was pleased at the strongest quarter he’s seen in ten years, the removal of $7 billion of debt, and Ford’s strong position worldwide, rating first or second in 19 to 21 markets. Saying the company is “on the way to where we wants to be, and that’s investment grade.” Mulally also states, “the Ford brand is fantastic in China,” and intends to “expand as fast and as prudently as possible.” It seems that his company could provide “profitable growth for all” including Ford’s workers.

Hyundai Hope On Wheels
July 12, 2010
Committed to Fighting Childhood Cancer
2010 marks the twelfth year that Hyundai and its dealers have been committed to supporting the fight against childhood cancer. What began in 1998 as a local initiative supported by New England-area Hyundai dealers to raise funds for the Jimmy Fund at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has evolved into Hyundai Hope on Wheels, an independent nonprofit organization which is supported nationwide by all of Hyundai’s 780 dealers and Hyundai Motor America. Since 1998, Hyundai Hope on Wheels has donated more than $14 million to children’s hospitals nationwide to help kids fight cancer. Every time a new Hyundai vehicle is sold in the U.S., $5 is donated to Hope on Wheels.
The Hope on Wheels Tour is the united effort of Hyundai dealers across the country to raise awareness about childhood cancer and celebrate the lives of the courageous children battling the disease. This summer, the Hope on Wheels Tour will travel to 42 children’s hospitals across the country and donate more than $2 million to support further training and research for doctors involved in childhood cancer research, making it the largest single year of donations in the organization’s history. Including, your Norfolk, VA Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters. Hyundai Hope on Wheels designates the medical professionals supported by these donations as Hyundai Scholars.
The 2010 Tour will also host Handprint Ceremonies for childhood cancer patients, both past and present, at the 42 children’s hospitals receiving donations. The symbol of the Hope on Wheels Tour is a white Hyundai Santa Fe covered with colorful handprints representing childhood cancer patients from all over the country. The Handprint Ceremony celebrates the courage of childhood cancer patients by capturing their colorful handprints on the white Santa Fe; children attending the ceremony are asked to lend a hand and place their own handprints on the car to commemorate their battle with cancer. Why handprints? Because there’s nothing more personal than a handprint – and the goal of the Hope on Wheels Tour is to share the personal triumphs of each of these children with other childhood cancer patients and their families across the country. Whether it’s completing a round of chemo, celebrating a beautiful new head of hair or receiving a clean bill of health, one childhood cancer patient’s milestone can be another’s symbol of hope.
