The children's hospital was one of 71 recipients of the award, part of Hyundai's Hope on Wheels program, which handed out $7.1 million to support research and other programs in honor of September's National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Since 1998, the grant program has donated $43 million to childhood cancer efforts.
During Wednesday's ceremony commemorating reception of the grant, local children battling cancer painted their hand prints on a canvas to represent their personal triumph.
"Our dream is a world where children no longer have cancer," said Dr. Stephen Lessnick, a pediatric oncology researcher at Primary Children's. "Every research project takes us closer to that dream."
