This nonprofit collected $65,000 for local runners who will participate in the Boston Marathon as a charity group, 'Cops for Kids with Cancer.' Since 2002, Cops for Kids with Cancer has volunteered their time to raise money for children battling cancer.
To help them fundraise, Hyundai dealers donated $22 to this cause from every car that they sold.
'There were 14,910 children who were diagnosed with cancer last year, but only four percent of the money the research goes to pediatric cancer research,' said Gary Rome, CEO of Gary Rome Hyundai. 'So it's very important to me that we take care of our children.'For the 27th year, Hyundai Hope On Wheels will be donating $27 million in research grants for childhood cancer.
