Children’s Hospital Colorado Pediatric Cancer Unit receives $70,000 donation from the McDonald Hyundai Hope Foundation.
Denver, CO, November 07, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Children’s Hospital Colorado Pediatric Cancer Unit, a national leader in pediatric cancer research and education, received a $70,000 donation on October 30, 2013 from the McDonald Hyundai Hope Foundation. A $20,000 increase from its previous year, the donation is a reflection of the McDonald Hyundai Hope Foundation’s commitment to serve the Children’s Hospital Colorado Pediatric Cancer Unit and the thousands of kids who are undergoing pediatric cancer treatment.
"The McDonald Hyundai Hope Foundation is our fight to end pediatric cancer and the soul of our work at McDonald Hyundai," said Jon Bittrolff, General Manager of McDonald Hyundai. "With every dollar raised, we are one step closer to finding a cure for cancer. In just three year, we've now raised over $147,500.”
The formal check presentation was held at the McDonald Hyundai dealership just south of Denver in Littleton. The foundation invited representatives from each of the sponsors who participated in their third annual golf tournament to join for appetizers and drinks and to hear speeches from the Hyundai Hope Ambassador, Bella Hicks, and the Children’s Hospital Colorado representative, Jaqueline Owens Lindley.
“The foundation has been a huge success,” says Jon Bittrolff, General Manager of McDonald Hyundai and President of the foundation. “We are so grateful for our sponsors because they are the ones that make this possible!”
Established in 2011, the McDonald Hyundai Hope Foundation hosts an annual golf tournament at Blackstone Country Club in Parker, CO. This years’ annual golf tournament turned out to be the non-profit’s biggest turn-out yet with over 150 participants and sponsors.
The foundation’s ambassador Bella Hicks and new ambassador, Preston Kilzer spoke about how non-profits like the McDonald Hyundai Hope Foundation make a difference. Preston was diagnosed with cancer at the age of six and after undergoing treatment at Children’s Hospital Colorado, he now stands side-by-side next to Bella as a cancer survivor.
The McDonald Hyundai Hope Foundation plans to continue their support for important causes such as this for years to come. To find out more about the McDonald Hyundai Hope Foundation or to make a donation please visit www.mcdonaldhyundaihope.org
