Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and Children’s National Hospital went head-to-head this weekend (or hand-to-hand rather) at the Washington, D.C. Auto Show to help raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer research.
In the Hyundai Hands on Hope contest, members from each hospital competed to see who can remain in constant contact with the Hyundai IONIQ5 over three days and two nights throughout the Washington, D.C. Auto Show. Contestants got a 15-minute break, every three hours.
All six contestants made it the full 44 hours on the vehicle. Each received a key, with only 1 key that would start the vehicle. Jeff Petro was the 3rd individual that attempted to start the vehicle and his key started the vehicle!
That means Jeff Petro is the winner of a brand new 2023 Hyundai IONIQ5 (MotorTrend's 2023 SUV of the Year).
Georgetown Lombardi received a $60,000 pediatric cancer research grant. Children's National received a $40,000 pediatric cancer research grant.
As such, The Washington Area Hyundai Dealers donated $100,000 in pediatric cancer research grants at the 2023 Hyundai Hands on Hope Contest.
Georgetown Lombardi and Children’s National have received over $5 million in pediatric research grants from Hyundai Hope on Wheels and the Washington Area Hyundai Dealers.
