Community

It’s been a busy and magical couple of months here at Gary Rome Hyundai, and we wanted to share a quick look at what we’ve been up to across Western Massachusetts and beyond! From heartfelt community moments to exciting partnerships, we’ve been driven (pun intended) by one thing — making a difference.

🌟 September Highlights

Brittney’s Believers – Hope in Action

We kicked off Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month with a $10,000 Hyundai Hope On Wheels donation to Brittney’s Believers, whose Bands for Brittney event in May was proudly sponsored by Gary Rome Hyundai and Hyundai Hope On Wheels.

Car Seat Safety Event with Baystate Health

Our 3rd Annual Car Seat Safety Check helped families ensure their little passengers were riding safely. Safety is more than a feature—it’s a community commitment.

Scrubs to Suds! Nurse Appreciation Car Wash

Partnering with MiraVista Behavioral Health Center, we offered free “Best in Show” car washes for nurses — a small gesture to thank our healthcare heroes.

Nthusiast Meet Up – Performance, People & Pride

We hosted our first-ever Gary Rome Nthusiast Meet Up, welcoming N owners from across New England for a scenic cruise, food trucks, live music, raffles, and awards — all benefiting the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

💙 October: Making a Difference

$25,000 Hyundai Hope Donation to Baystate Health Foundation

Supporting pediatric programs that bring care, comfort, and hope to families across Western Massachusetts.

Connecticut Children’s Check Presentations

Joined Hyundai Hope On Wheels to celebrate a $400,000 research grant to Dr. Lau and $100,000 to PJ Day for Kids — advancing pediatric cancer care.

$100,000 to Baystate Children’s Hospital

A deeply moving Handprint Ceremony, symbolizing every child’s courage and every family’s hope.

Hyundai Salute to Heroes

Honoring this year’s hero, Aida Torres, whose compassion and generosity uplift families across Western Mass. Alongside the Western MA Hyundai Dealers, we proudly presented her with a brand-new vehicle.

Magic for Maddie

We helped light up the day with a $50,000 Regional Grant from Hyundai Hope On Wheels, bringing total funds raised to an incredible $1.3 million since 2022 — spreading Maddie’s sparkle and hope for a cure.

Rays of Hope Walk & Run

A perfect fall day honoring survivors, remembering loved ones, and celebrating unity in the fight against breast cancer. We were proud to sponsor the Pink Hope Survivors Lounge.

Thank you for catching up with us — and for continuing to support the work that drives progress for humanity!
