Hyundai Motor donates 62.12 million won to children with cancer alongside sales consultants

[Financial News] Hyundai Motor has donated 62.12 million won to support the treatment of children with cancer, together with current and former sales consultants. The donation was raised by having Hyundai Motor contribute an amount equal to the funds voluntarily collected by 91 sales consultants. It will be used to cover medical expenses for children with cancer, including surgery and treatment costs.
Hyundai Motor said on the 12th that it held the ‘Hyundai Hope On Wheels Matching Grant Donation Ceremony’ on the 11th at UX Studio Seoul, located at its headquarters on Gangnam-daero in Seoul.
The event was attended by key representatives, including Hyo Jun Yoon, head of Hyundai Motor’s Domestic Business Division (executive vice president); Kim Eun-hee, head of the Domestic Support Business Division (vice president); Kim Kyung-jo, head of the Domestic Business Support Office (vice president); and Sin Jeong-won, head of ChildFund Korea’s Social Contribution Cooperation Division, as well as current and former sales consultants who took part in the donation.
The Hyundai Hope On Wheels Matching Grant is a social contribution initiative linking Hyundai Motor’s global social contribution program, ‘Hyundai Hope On Wheels,’ with its domestic fundraising program, the ‘Top Salesperson Matching Grant.’ It supports children with cancer through a matching-grant model in which the company contributes an additional set amount to funds voluntarily donated by employees and others.
This year, 91 current and former sales consultants took part and donated a total of 31.06 million won. Hyundai Motor contributed the same amount, 31.06 million won, bringing the total donation to 62.12 million won. The funds were delivered to ChildFund Korea, a specialized child welfare organization, and will be used for medical expenses needed to treat the children’s illnesses, including surgery, treatment and medication.
Through this initiative, Hyundai Motor expanded the voluntary social contribution efforts of its sales consultants, who have built relationships with customers on the front lines of domestic sales, and increased the scale of support by linking those efforts with corporate donations. In particular, the initiative focused on practical support by directing donations toward medical expenses needed in the children’s actual treatment.
A Hyundai Motor representative said, “We hope the sales consultants’ voluntary participation and the company’s support will provide practical help to children with cancer,” adding, “We will continue our support to help children with cancer in Korea and abroad have a healthy future.”
