April 3rd, 2026 by

At Hyundai of Mankato, we believe being part of this wonderful community goes far beyond selling great Hyundai vehicles, it’s about making a meaningful difference in the lives of families right here in Southern Minnesota. That’s why we’re proud to support Hyundai Hope on Wheels, a nationwide movement dedicated to driving hope and funding research to help end childhood cancer.

A Dealership with Heart: Supporting Childhood Cancer Research

Hyundai Hope on Wheels is more than a program, it’s a promise. Founded in 1998 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, this powerful initiative is fueled by Hyundai Motor America, dealers like us, and customers who want to make a positive impact. Through Hope on Wheels, a portion of every new Hyundai vehicle sold helps fund pediatric cancer research and raise public awareness of this important cause.

Childhood cancer remains one of the most devastating diseases affecting families today, with thousands of children diagnosed each year. By contributing to life‑saving research, Hyundai Hope on Wheels is helping increase survival rates and fuel breakthroughs that give kids a brighter future.

How Your Support Helps

Every time a new Hyundai is sold at Hyundai of Mankato, a donation is made to Hyundai Hope on Wheels to help fuel pediatric cancer research. This collective effort contributes to changing lives, supporting families, and moving the needle toward a world where childhood cancer no longer exists.

One of the most heartwarming aspects of Hyundai Hope on Wheels is its signature “Handprint Ceremony,” where children’s handprints are captured and featured on Hyundai vehicles that travel across the country. These handprints tell stories of courage and hope, reminding us all of the impact this mission has on real lives.
