Multi-colored painted handprints covered an electric car as an expression of gratitude on Aug. 17 after Hyundai Hope On Wheels rolled on to the UC Davis Health campus to deliver a $100,000 check to help with the cancer fight.

Sharing their appreciation were childhood cancer survivors and their families who made a colorful impression with the “high fives” they planted on a white Hyundai IONIQ5. They also left handprints on the white coat of Marcio Malogolowkin, chief of the Division of Pediatric Oncology-Hematology at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center.

“Here, let me give you a hug,” said cancer survivor Jordyn Hernandez as she placed one blue and one red handprint on the back of Malogolowkin, who is also a professor in the Department of Pediatrics. “Thank you for all you do, Dr. Malogolowkin!”

“This is absolutely fantastic, so beautiful,” Malogolowkin said. “UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center is very happy with our partnership with Hyundai and their support over these years, as we continue our fight against pediatric cancer.”
