Hyundai and Temecula Hyundai Join Forces for Community Health

On November 4, 2025, the grand re-opening of Temecula Hyundai stood as a landmark event, not only for the dealership but also for the local community. In a commendable show of corporate social responsibility, Hyundai, in collaboration with Hyundai Hope on Wheels and Temecula Hyundai, announced a combined donation of $30,000 dedicated to supporting vital health initiatives in Riverside County, California.

Supporting Local Health Initiatives

The donations were strategically directed toward pressing local needs. $15,000 was allocated to the Rotary Club of Temecula, focused on hunger relief efforts. This funding will support the club's Thanksgiving Baskets program, which delivers food essentials to over 300 families in the Temecula Valley, ensuring that those in need can celebrate the holiday season with dignity and gratitude.

Brandon Ramirez, director of corporate social responsibility at Hyundai Motor North America, emphasized their commitment to uplifting the community, stating,

“We are committed to supporting health initiatives, with a special focus on addressing hunger and supporting children battling pediatric cancer and their families.”

This initiative exemplifies how corporate efforts can seamlessly blend with community needs, creating tangible impacts on the lives of local residents.

Pediatric Cancer Support Through Community Partnership

In addition to supporting hunger relief, $15,000 was donated to Michelle's Place, a full-service cancer resource center that provides essential services to families affected by cancer, particularly pediatric cancer. Their comprehensive support includes behavioral health services, various support groups, wellness classes, and art programs, helping families navigate the challenges of cancer.

Michelle’s Place stands as a beacon of hope, offering no-cost resources linked to cancer care. The organization is integral in the region, providing vital support where it matters most. This partnership between Hyundai Hope on Wheels and Michelle’s Place highlights a shared vision focused on improving the lives of children battling cancer.

A Longstanding Commitment to Pediatric Cancer Research

Since its inception in 1998, Hyundai Hope on Wheels has been at the forefront of funding for pediatric cancer research, donating an impressive $277 million towards more than 1,400 grants for childhood cancer research projects across over 175 hospitals and research institutions. The organization aims to invest in critical research that leads to improved treatments and ultimately, cures.

Ramirez noted,

“Our collaborative efforts signify more than just financial support; it’s about fostering a community where our children can thrive, regardless of the challenges they face.”

This commitment to fighting pediatric cancer reinforces Hyundai’s dedication to community wellbeing.
