• Hyundai Hope donates $50,000 to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in support of its Child Safety Seat Program

• To date, this partnership has funded more than 2,000 car seats for families in need

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor America and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) recently held their third child passenger safety event. Since partnering in 2022, more than 1,400 car seats have been provided to families in need. To further support these ongoing efforts, Hyundai is donating an additional $50,000 to supply approximately 600 car seats for CHOP's Child Safety Seat Program.

"Hyundai is dedicated to fostering a culture of safety that extends beyond our vehicles and into our communities," said Cole Stutz, chief safety officer, Hyundai Motor North America. "Through our partnership with CHOP, we are proud to continue promoting child passenger safety and equipping families with the resources they need to protect their children on the road."

During the recent event, certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST) educated parents and caregivers on the correct installation and use of car seats. These technicians also performed thorough safety inspections for expiration dates, manufacturer recalls, and proper fit. Families in need of new car seats were given replacements to ensure the utmost safety for their children.

"With the generous support of Hyundai Motor America, CHOP's injury prevention program will provide car seats to families, provide education, and empower them to correctly use their seat during every ride," said Gina Duchossois, injury prevention manager, CHOP.
