FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 14, 2020 – Today, Hyundai Hope On Wheels (HHOW) is proud to announce that it has enabled more than one million COVID-19 tests by funding 23 testing sites nationwide.

In July, HHOW donated $100,000 for testing in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. To date, Hyundai Hope On Wheels has donated a total of $4.4 million to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

'We are grateful for the tireless work of the healthcare workers on the frontlines of the pandemic that made this milestone possible,' said Kevin Reilly, Board Member of Hyundai Hope On Wheels and President of Alexandria Hyundai. 'Testing is the key to reopening our country safely and we are proud to support our partners in this ongoing and critical effort.'
