The 14th annual Hyundai Hope on Wheels Scholar Tour will officially kick off on April 5, 2012 at the New York International Auto Show and will travel the country to award grants to Hyundai Scholars at children’s hospitals nationwide.

At each hospital, Hope on Wheels will host a “Handprint Ceremony,” the program’s signature event which celebrates the lives of the brave children battling the disease by capturing their colorful handprints on a white Hyundai Santa Fe, representing childhood cancer patients from all over the country.

Why handprints? Because there's nothing more personal than a handprint – and part of the Hope on Wheels mission is to share the personal triumphs of each of these children with other childhood cancer patients and their families across the country. Whether it's completing a round of chemo, celebrating a beautiful new head of hair or receiving a clean bill of health, one childhood cancer patient’s milestone can be another's symbol of hope.
