Blue September - facing up to cancer in men!

SURPRISE YOU HAVE WON AN ALL NEW HYUNDAI ACCENT ELITE! 

Shea Travers was surprised, live on the Kerri-Anne Show, with the keys to a brand new Hyundai Accent Elite Hatch. Shea thought she was coming on the show as a competition finalist after she donated to Blue September and entered to win the car. The competition requirements were to donate
$5 or more and answer; ‘Who you would like to paint blue
and why?’

Shea’s winning answer, “I would paint my own face Blue.
I lost my father to cancer last week and I am proud of how hard he fought,” touched the hearts of the Blue September competition panel and there was no doubt that she deserved to win the car.

Special thanks to long term campaign sponsor Hyundai and the Kerri-Anne Show for supporting the competition.

HYUNDAI DELIVERS A TRUE BLUE SEPTEMBER!

In support of Blue September, Hyundai presented a cheque for
$100,000 to Australian Cancer Research Foundation and Bowel Cancer Australia representatives at a ceremony held in Sydney on Friday 9th September. This is the third consecutive year Hyundai Motor Company Australia and the Hyundai dealer network have joined forces to support Blue September.

An annual nationwide charity programme, Blue September seeks to raise awareness of men’s cancer for the Australian Cancer Research Foundation and Bowel Cancer Australia, as well help men reduce the risk of developing cancer by sharing the message that making healthy lifestyle choices can prevent male cancer deaths.

Hyundai’s commitment to Blue September swung into action in August. A comprehensive national campaign saw the Hyundai dealer network pledge to donate $100 from each new vehicle sold during the Hyundai ‘3-Day Sale’ to Blue September. 980 vehicles were sold over the three days, raising $98,000 for this vital cause. In addition to this, Hyundai Head Office generously donated a further $2,000 to reach $100,000 for Blue September.

Hyundai further endorsed the Blue September initiative, at the high profile Qantas Socceroo World Cup qualifier match against Thailand held on 2nd September. Volunteers distributed 10,000 Blue September wristbands raising both awareness and funds at the match.
