Honda has a reputation for giving back to the community and has a longstanding history of supporting humanitarian efforts. The Ride for Kids™ charity event is one such example. Through this annual event, Honda aims to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF) by raising awareness and funding.
This year was the 25th anniversary of Ride for Kids™, and it was an unmistakable success. There were over 600 people in attendance and it garnered more than $220,000. The money raised then goes back to the PBTF which allocates the funds to the research of brain tumors in children and support programs. The event also opens its floors to children who are inflicted with and fighting against the disease so they can share their experience and teach other participants.
Events like these are what make Honda an automaker beloved by many, and it is for these kinds of reasons that Honda of Ames is thrilled to be a part of the brand. We encourage you to learn more about what the company is up to and how it gives back to others by checking back on our blog regularly!
