Preston Hyundai Maryland Dealership Supports Hope on Wheels

Preston Hyundai Maryland Dealer
In 1998, Hyundai Motor America started Hope on Wheels - a non-profit organization committed to finding a cure for childhood cancer. Since the conception of this idea 16 years ago, Hyundai has raised nearly 90 million dollars. This year, Preston is one of 820 Hyundai Dealers in the U.S. to be participating in the annual event. September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, so Preston Automotive Group Owner/President Dave Wilson Sr. has prepared to open up his wallet. Wilson Sr. along with Preston Hyundai will make a donation to the Hope on Wheels program for every Hyundai that is purchased from the Preston lot during the month of September. Not only that, but each of his donations will be matched by Hyundai Motor America! As a result, this is something that Preston Hyundai has been proud to participate in for many years. One of the more ceremonial parts of the Hope on Wheels program are the symbolic handprints. On their website Hope on Wheels states that there is nothing more personal than a handprint. So, part of this program gives children who are currently battling cancer a chance to have fun and paint their handprint on a White Hyundai Santa Fe. There are several ways that money is being collected. First and foremost are the donations from dealers matched by Hyundai Motor America. Secondly, there are 5K races setup in select locations around the country where all proceeds will go toward thePreston Hyundai Maryland Dealer Hope on Wheels foundation. There is also branded merchandise with the Hope on Wheels logo for sale on their website. And of course you could make a donation of any amount by visiting their website as well. However, if you have been thinking about a new Hyundai then now is the time to buy because Preston Hyundai will only be participating in this program until the end of the month! We encourage you to check out their website and/or video above to find out more about this great foundation. Also, be sure to use the hashtag #endchildhoodcancer to spread further awareness about this program. It truly is a wonderful foundation that can have an impact on the lives of thousands of children. So, make sure to come out to Preston Hyundai to see what we are doing to help this worthy cause with your own eyes.

Talbot Goes Purple

Talbot Goes Purple

“We’re in the middle of the deadliest drug epidemic in our history - and much of it starts with improper use of prescription painkillers. I believe we need to start teaching our kids these pills are basically synthetic heroin and WILL lead to heroin addiction.” - Joe Gamble, Talbot County Sheriff Talbot Goes Purple is a program meant to engage the community and help youth stand up against substance abuse. Through the creation of purple clubs in our local high schools, students will learn that they don’t need drugs or alcohol. We encourage our community and youth to ‘Go Purple’ as a sign that they take a stand against substance abuse. Our community needs to start having a conversation about the abuse of prescription drugs. 91 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose, and it is our goal to rid Talbot County of this issue. Talbot Goes Purple is a campaign where the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office and Tidewater Rotary team up with Talbot County Schools and the Mid-Shore Community Foundation to spread awareness of how dangerous it is to abuse prescription drugs. On September 19th and September 20th, former NBA basketball player Chris Herren will be running two in-school assemblies in addition to a community event at 7:00 p.m. on September 19th. Chris Herren nearly ruined his life with prescription drug abuse that slowly turned into a heroin addiction. Herren can speak firsthand about how awful drug abuse is and how dangerous it could be to your life. Herren has now been clean and sober for almost a decade and spreads his story to communities in need. We are looking forward to hearing and learning from his story. This September, Talbot Goes Purple and we hope that you can join in celebrating sobriety and solidarity against heroin use.

United for a Cure

United for a Cure

The Preston Automotive Group is united for a cure the entire month of October, as our stores are banding together in a combined effort to support the fight against breast cancer. Our goal is to not only spread awareness of breast cancer and how to prevent it but also to raise funds for the research and development of a cure for this disease. We are partnering with the American Cancer Society to battle this illness that 1 in 8 women will face in their lifetime. We hope this cause will aid those who have fallen victim to breast cancer by funding research for a cure. During the month of October, your friends at the Preston Automotive Group will be giving away a free pink frog with every purchase of a new or used vehicle. These pink frogs are exclusive limited edition versions of everyone's favorite car dealing amphibian.  So hurry in and help spread awareness of breast cancer and the importance of regular check-ups. Early detection is critical when fighting breast cancer, and by spreading awareness, we hope that people do what they can to get checked out for this illness during the United for a Cure event. From October 19th to October 22nd, your friends at the Preston Autoplex will be donating $100 to the American Cancer Society with every single new vehicle purchased. This money is donated to fund research efforts to attempt to find a way we can rid the world of this terrible disease. These financial efforts are also to help spread awareness of breast cancer and how important it is to take preventative measures. Help us, and the millions of volunteers nationwide, in raising funds for breast cancer research, life-saving education, and essential patient services for those suffering from the illness. Your friends at the Preston Autoplex are United for a Cure!
