Take a test drive in any Hyundai this February and help raise vital funds for Stand Up To Cancer
Hyundai and Stand Up To Cancer have revealed the next step in their fundraising partnership, after a hugely successful 2017 partnership that saw Hyundai raise £150,000. Leading the charge was Hyundai’s world-first contactless car, an IONIQ Electric, featuring five embedded contactless payment points for donations.
For the next step in the partnership, Hyundai will be donating £50 for every test drive carried out between February 1st – February 28th. With around 1,200 test drives taken in February 2017, Hyundai Motor UK predicts the initiative will raise a further £60,000 for Stand Up To Cancer.
The star of the Hyundai and Stand Up To Cancer partnership was the world-first Contactless Car – a special Hyundai IONIQ Electric outfitted with five contactless donation points. Members of the public could simply walk up to the car and tap one of the points with a contactless card or device to donate either £5 or £10 to Stand Up To Cancer.
Hyundai UK’s President and CEO, Tony Whitehorn, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the amount raised with Stand Up To Cancer this year thanks to our #DriveTheRebellion campaign. From the Contactless Car, through our employees and through generous donations from the public we’ve contributed over £150,000 towards Stand Up To Cancer’s vital research to find new and better treatments for patients. But we realise there’s a long way to go, and that’s why we’re continuing our Stand Up To Cancer partnership with the help of our retail partners in 2018.”
Rachel Carr, Head of Stand Up To Cancer, said: “Stand Up To Cancer unites the nation to raise funds for ground-breaking research that will bring new treatments and tests to patients faster. It’s fantastic working with Hyundai because they share our vision to find new ways to raise money while giving our supporters an entertaining and engaging experience. The contactless car was a brilliant innovation and everyone at Hyundai really got behind the campaign in 2017. On behalf of Cancer Research UK, I’d like to thank everyone at Hyundai for their continued support.”
