DGDG’s Capitol Hyundai, Fremont Hyundai and Stevens Creek Hyundai sold a total of 3,046 units, which resulted in a $42,644 donation. The money raised will provide critical funds to the efforts of doctors and researchers who work tirelessly to improve outcomes for children battling cancer.

In addition to national efforts, DGDG continues to support its local communities through DGDG Does Good, the charitable arm of the Del Grande Dealer Group.
